A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Estimation and rapid identification of later stages during embryonic development of the oviparous lizard Sceloporus aeneus (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Stages of embryonic development for reptiles have been presented in tables that may include all or part of embryonic development. When oviposition occurs in some lizards, embryos are already in the later stages of development; likewise, the size of the eggs increases as incubation time progresses.

Interaction Between Age and Individual Heterogeneity Shapes Breeding Probability in a Long‐Lived Marine Ectotherm

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
In iteroparous species, reproductive skipping is generally considered an adaptive strategy. Non‐breeding individuals should have a greater annual survival probability and retain greater future reproductive potential.
