Humans and platyrrhines share a pattern of articular variance

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work has identified a pattern of articular shape variation in modern human limb joints, in which convex joint surfaces exhibit constrained variance relative to their more variable concave conarticulars. This pattern is notable given that joint morphogenesis is influenced by local biomechanical environments, which vary substantially ...

Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...

Tooth histotype and enameloid microstructure of Priohybodus arambourgi d'Erasmo, 1960 (Elasmobranchii: Hybodontiformes) from the Late Jurassic of northeastern Brazil

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharks possess varied diets and different prey capture mechanisms. As a result, the group exhibits a significant diversity in dental morphology, also reflecting the internal structures of the teeth. Internal dental anatomy points to the existence of three histotypes in elasmobranch phylogeny: orthodont, osteodont, and pseudoosteodont ...

Body mass and sex estimation from lower carnassial tooth morphometry in the endangered Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus): An ecomorphological analysis of sexual size dimorphism

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) is an endangered subspecies characterized by highly fragmented populations and increasing human–carnivore conflict across the Iberian Peninsula. Although body mass strongly influences predator–prey dynamics and ecological performance, quantitative assessments of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and body mass

Stability analysis of a predator-prey model using Takagi-Sugeno method [PDF]

open access: yes
The current study is based on a predator-prey model with infection that affects only predator species. Predators are divided into two categories such as the susceptible predator and the infected predator, which are feeding on prey species.

Redescription of †Eobrasilia coutoi (Metatheria: Polydolopimorphia), a unique sclerocarpophagous metatherian from the Palaeogene of South America: Systematic affinities, and paleoecological and evolutionary implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ‘Palaeogene strata’ of the Itaboraí Basin (upper Paleocene‐lower Eocene), Southeastern Brazil, has preserved 29 genera and almost 50 species of metatherians (about 65% of its mammalian diversity). Among them, Eobrasilia coutoi Simpson, 1947 is the most enigmatic due to its quite fragmentary nature.

A Predator-Prey Model with an Application to Lake Victoria Fisheries [PDF]

open access: yes
Greater complexity in renewable resource models is achieved by acknowledging that species interact through a predator-prey relationship in which both species are harvested.

Morphological plasticity in the dentition of the lungfish Gnathorhiza from the Permian of Brazil: A population‐level geometric morphometric analysis

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental plates are pivotal in the lungfish paleontological record, constituting highly mineralized structures resilient to diagenetic processes. This study provides a detailed description and quantitative shape analysis of 95 newly discovered Gnathorhiza sp. dental plates from the Middle–Late Permian Corumbataí Formation, Brazil.

First Record of Tasmanian Devils in the Pilbara: Late Quaternary Subfossils From Juukan Gorge, Puutu Kunti Kurrama Country, and Insights Into Human—Faunal Relationships and Extinction

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first unequivocal evidence for the presence of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia, based on material recovered from archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura country.
