Anatomical Study of the Scleral Ring and Scleral Ossicles of the Ostrich ( Struthio camelus ) With Gross Anatomical Methods and Diagnostic Imaging Techniques [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine International
The ostrich is a type of flightless bird native to Africa and a scavenger, belonging to the Struthionidae family. The eyeball in birds has more unique features. One of these features is the presence of a scleral ring. The intrascleral bones that surround

3D atlas of tinamou (Neornithes: Tinamidae) pectoral morphology: Implications for reconstructing the ancestral neornithine flight apparatus. [PDF]

J Anat, 2023
Tinamous are the only members of Palaeognathae (a clade containing giant flightless birds such as the ostrich) that are capable of flight. We utilized contrast enhanced micro CT scanning to explore in detail the musculoskeletal anatomy of the flight apparatus of the Andean tinamou, Nothoprocta pentlandii.

Wildlife Pathogens and Zoonotic Disease Risk Assessment in Vietnam: A Wildlife Trade Hotspot. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Vietnam is a wildlife trade hotspot presenting multiple high‐risk interfaces for pathogen spillover from wildlife to humans. However, the zoonotic disease risk remains poorly characterized in the country and needs to be assessed to better inform policy dialog and legislative reforms.

Locomotor and postural diversity among reptiles viewed through the prism of femoral microanatomy: Palaeobiological implications for some Permian and Mesozoic taxa. [PDF]

J Anat, 2023
Reptiles show great diversity of locomotion and posture. We employed phylogenetically informed statistical methods to explore their bone microanatomy. We used our models to infer the locomotion of extinct reptiles that document the different episodes of postural diversification in this clade.
