Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

A tiny Cambrian stem-mandibulate reveals independent evolution of limb tagmatization and specialization in early euarthropods

Scientific Reports
The mandibulate euarthropods are the most speciose animal group, but the evolutionary gaps in origin of mandibulate body plan remain unresolved. Marrellomorphs, a common Paleozoic euarthropod group, had a long evolutionary history from Cambrian to ...

New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Beyond single-cause models: Investigating variable pathways to submarine fan architectures in the Golo Fan system

Sedimentologika
Traditional sequence stratigraphy has largely linked submarine fan formation to relative sea-level changes during lowstand conditions. However, these interpretations may oversimplify the system's complexity by overlooking the contributions of other ...

The first Late Triassic Chinese triadophlebiomorphan (Insecta: Odonatoptera): biogeographic implications

Scientific Reports, 2017
The clade Triadophlebiomorpha represents a morphological ‘link’ between the Paleozoic griffenflies (Meganisoptera) and the modern taxa. Nevertheless they are relatively poorly known in the body structures and paleobiogeography.

Confronting Complexity: Interpretation of a Dry Stone Walled Landscape on the Island of Cres, Croatia

Land, 2022
Dry stone walls are a worldwide phenomenon that may shape entire regions. As a specific form of vernacular agro-pastoral practice, they are expressions of the culture and history of a region.

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Formal stratigraphy in the Pleistocene of Finland [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1992
The importance of the application of formal lithostratigraphical, biostratigraphical and chronostratigraphical procedures to the subdivision of Finnish Pleistocene sediment sequences and the need to define both regional and local stratotypes are ...

The cranial, mandibular, and hyoid anatomy of softshell turtles (Trionychidae): A revised character list for phylogenetic analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...
