The evolution of giant flightless birds and novel phylogenetic relationships for extinct fowl (Aves, Galloanseres) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The extinct dromornithids, gastornithids and phorusrhacids are among the most spectacular birds to have ever lived, with some giants exceeding 500 kg. The affinities and evolution of these and other related extinct birds remain contentious, with previous

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 9, September 2025.Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 284-294, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Agents of taphonomy can bias skeletal parts and the frequency of bones in archaeological sites. An important factor to consider is the possible effect of bone density‐mediated attrition on archaeornithological assemblages. We scanned willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) specimens using a Lunar iDXA and an enCcore small animal body add‐on to ...
