Endothermy, neuron counts, and other issues: Further remarks on neurocognitive evolution in fossil vertebrates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

MicroCT reinvestigation of the only articulated fossil anostomid fish reveals synonymy of Arhinolemur Ameghino, 1898 and Megaleporinus Ramirez et al., 2017

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Arhinolemur scalabrinii† Ameghino, 1898 was originally described as a strepsirrhine primate (Mammalia) but has been recognized as an anostomid fish since 2012. It remains the only extinct anostomid species known from complete cranial material.

Oldest well‐preserved euprimate petrosal, from the early Eocene of India (Vastan Lignite Mine, Gujarat)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

The deglaciation of the northwest sector of the last British-Irish ice sheet : integrating onshore and offshore data relating to chronology and behaviour

, 2013
It is now accepted that the last British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) was highly dynamic and drained by numerous fast flowing ice streams. This dynamic nature combined with its maritime location made the BIIS sensitive to the rapid climate change that ...

Dental anomalies in Pleistocene African hippopotamuses from Olduvai Bed II

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hippopotamuses are key palaeoenvironmental indicators in African Pleistocene ecosystems due to their ecological dependence on permanent water bodies and their frequent representation in the fossil record. This study examines dental anomalies in Hippopotamus cf. gorgops from several localities in Bed II of Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania), dated to ca.

Mapping opioid exposure through prescription data and postmortem analysis of opioid drugs in multiple tissues

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Although opioids are central to end of life (EoL) care, tissue‐level opioid exposure remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to characterize the relationship between prescription‐derived morphine equivalent daily dose (MEDD) and measured morphine concentrations across multiple organs.

Hair analysis of formoterol as a novel tool to assess long‐term inhalation medication adherence: Data from the TRICOLON trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this paper is to examine inhaled formoterol concentrations in hair and assess the potential of hair analysis as a tool for measuring long‐term adherence, by validation with objective data from digital inhalers. Methods Hair samples and digital inhaler data were collected from patients with COPD in 10 hospitals in the Netherlands as part ...
