Computed tomography reveals multiple origins of extreme caudal vertebral pneumaticity in sauropod dinosaurs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we present novel CT scan data of caudal vertebrae of six Middle–Late Jurassic sauropods, representing several eusauropod lineages. We synthesise these new data with a comprehensive critical appraisal of purported external and internal evidence for caudal vertebral PSP in Sauropodomorpha.

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 1026-1063, June 2026.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil

open access: yesVeterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 10, Page e461-e470, 16/23 May 2026.
Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...

From transporter to motor: Evolutionary and structural insights into the emergence of prestin's area‐motor activity in mammals

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Prestin, a member of the SLC26A family, is essential for the electromotility of mammalian outer hair cells, converting voltage changes into mechanical work. In contrast, nonmammalian orthologues function as anion transporters. To investigate the molecular and structural basis of this functional divergence, we performed ancestral sequence ...

Herpetofaunal Diversity and Endemism Hotspots in Australia's Fire‐Impacted Subtropical Rainforests Show Fine‐Scale Variation Across Metrics and Taxa

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Herpetofaunal richness and endemism hotspots differ in subtropical rainforest. ABSTRACT Identifying biodiversity hotspots is a key strategy for prioritising conservation efforts. However, depending on the biodiversity measures or taxonomic groups used, different areas may be prioritised, especially at broader spatial scales.
