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 ...

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.

Technical advance: The use of tree shrews as a model of pulmonary fibrosis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive disease with a high morbidity and mortality. Some of the mechanisms of fibrosis development have been described using rodent models; however, the relevance of findings in these ...

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...

Individual strategies of aggressive and non-aggressive male mice in encounters with trained aggressive residents [PDF]

, 1992
To determine whether individual differences in offensive behaviour are related to differences in defensive behaviour, the responses of male wild house mice, Mus domesticus, of an aggressive and a non-aggressive line to defeat by physically stronger ...

Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.
