Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates from at least 30 distinct lineages in both extinct and extant clades have returned to aquatic environments. With these transitions came numerous morphological adaptations to accommodate life in water. Relatively little attention has been paid to the cervical region when tracking this transition.

Evaluation of porosity, permeability, and reservoir quality of the Asmari Formation using sedimentary facies and diagenesis data in the Ahvaz oil field [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology ResearchesThe Asmari Formation, the Oligo–Miocene in age, has been deposited in the Dezful Embayment and other parts of the Zagros Basin. In the Ahvaz oil field, this formation is mostly composed of limestones, dolomites, marls, and sandstones.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Exploitation, secondary extinction and the altered trophic structure of Jamaican coral reefs [PDF]
, 2010 Coral reef communities of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean have a long history of anthropogenic disturbance, driven by the exploitation for food of both vertebrate and invertebrate species.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Silesaurids (Archosauria: Dinosauriformes) are found in Middle to Upper Triassic deposits across Pangea, but few stratigraphic sections record the evolution of the group in one geographic area over millions of years. Here, we describe silesaurid remains from the oldest of the Upper Triassic stratigraphic sequence from the base of the Dockum ...

The influence of extreme climate events on models of coral colony recruitment and survival in the Caribbean [PDF]
, 2012 Knowledge of coral recruitment patterns helps us understand how reefs react following major disturbances and provides us with an early warning system for predicting future reef health problems.
