Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

The lower jaw of Devonian ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Commentary: What's so interesting about sabertooths?

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sabertooth creatures are fascinating to the public and to scientists. This Special Issue on The Anatomy of Sabertooths starts with a discussion of what exactly a sabertooth is, continues with a couple of papers about other animals with extraordinarily long teeth, and then delves into analyses of fossil sabertoothed taxa—some of which are not ...
