The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.

Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

Late Holocene Occupation and Resource Use in the Sub‐Coastal Moreton Region: The Open‐Air Howard Creek Site, Southeast Queensland

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper reports archaeological investigations at the Howard Creek site, a Late Holocene open‐air site in the sub‐coastal Moreton region of southeast Queensland. The site adds to a regional record based largely on rockshelter excavations. Development‐led salvage investigations included excavation, radiocarbon dating, lithic analysis, and use‐

Spectrum of care approach to animal shelter management of feline infectious peritonitis complicated by feline leukemia virus

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionFeline infectious peritonitis (FIP) occurs most commonly in multi-cat environments such as animal shelters. FIP is often suspected based on compatible history, signalment, physical examination, and hematological and biochemical findings ...
