Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 12, Page 3175-3185, December 2025.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.

Seasonal and Habitat-Related Diets of Sloth Bears in Nepal [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 1997 Most bears are opportunistic omnivores; their diets consist of fruits, other vegetative material, and in lesser amounts, mammals, fishes, and insects. Sloth bears ( Melursus ursinas ) are the only species of ursid specifically adapted to feed on insects, especially termites and ants, although they also feed on fruits when available. We studied diets of

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 254, Issue 12, Page 1307-1324, December 2025.Abstract Background Longitudinal skeletal growth takes place in the cartilaginous growth plates. While growth plates are found at either end of conventional long bones, they occur at a variety of locations in the mammalian skeleton. For example, the metacarpals and metatarsals (MT) in the hands and feet form only a single growth plate at one end, and ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2362-2375, December 2025.The growing use of accelerometry by ecologists to measure energy expenditure can make physiologists sweat due to its many pitfalls. This review comprehensively describes the use of accelerometry in wild animals, the successes (and failures) of calibrations and how best to estimate energy expenditure from accelerometers.
