Leviathans and Liberation: Did Whaling Contribute to the Decline of Slavery?
ABSTRACT We test the hypothesis slavery started declining in the United States not due to fossil fuel‐driven industrialization but the exploitation of the bioenergy reserves of the world's largest animals. We predict the population in slavery in US states from 1790 to 1840 as a function of the recorded whaling harvest.

Overview of XS of pathological radius. Using anatomical descriptions, CT scanning and bone histology, we investigate several skeletal overgrowths of bone (exostoses) in the skeleton of a jackal‐like canid from the world famous Langebaanweg, a Mio‐Pliocene locality in South Africa.

A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Exploring craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry in a South African sample
This study investigated craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in a contemporary South African sample using micro‐XCT scans. Inter‐landmark distances (ILDs) assessed size variation, while geometric morphometric methods (GMMs) captured shape variation.
