The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Functional Morphology of the Scaphoid in Extant African Apes, Humans and Fossil Hominins
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Objectives The morphology of the hominoid scaphoid has played a key role in functional and evolutionary hypotheses related to the emergence of hominin bipedalism and tool use. However, the scaphoid's complex morphology is challenging to comparatively analyze via traditional 2D linear measurements.
