Redescription of †Eobrasilia coutoi (Metatheria: Polydolopimorphia), a unique sclerocarpophagous metatherian from the Palaeogene of South America: Systematic affinities, and paleoecological and evolutionary implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ‘Palaeogene strata’ of the Itaboraí Basin (upper Paleocene‐lower Eocene), Southeastern Brazil, has preserved 29 genera and almost 50 species of metatherians (about 65% of its mammalian diversity). Among them, Eobrasilia coutoi Simpson, 1947 is the most enigmatic due to its quite fragmentary nature.

First evidence of a mandibular crest in Brasileodactylus Kellner, 1984 (Pterosauria, Pteranodontoidea, Anhangueridae), with comments on pterosaur headcrests

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brasileodactylus araripensis Kellner, 1984, is a toothed pterosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Traditionally regarded as crestless, the species has been central to debates on anhanguerid taxonomy, as most members of the clade possess well‐developed sagittal cranial or dentary crests.

Hormonal control and signaling of the testis of the bat Molossus molossus during the processes of testicular maturation, regression, and recrudescence

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Molossus molossus, a species of neotropical bat belonging to the Molossidae family, has an annual reproductive cycle that includes two peaks of spermatogenic activity, one in April and another in September, and a period of total testicular regression in December.

Bioerosion traces in bones reveal an increase in ethological diversity in the insect exploitation of carcasses in the late Triassic

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents the first detailed description of bioerosion traces produced by insects in bones from the Santa Cruz Sequence (early Carnian, Santa Maria Supersequence, Brazil). An array of traces is reported, consisting of notches, a tube, trails of grooves attributed to the ichnotaxon Osteocallis mandibulus and ornamented depressions ...

Morphological variation of the conus arteriosus in Chondrichthyes: Implications for ecology and evolution

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cartilaginous fish have diverse morphological traits that are essential for understanding their evolutionary history and ecological adaptations. However, the conus arteriosus and its valves, key components of the heart and blood circulation, have been underexplored in phylogenetic and ecomorphological contexts.

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...

Unintegrated Gluon Distributions as Probability Densities for QCD Dynamical Entropy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a systematic procedure for constructing normalized transverse momentum probability distributions from phenomenological unintegrated gluon distributions (UGDs). These distributions provide the probabilistic foundation of the QCD dynamical entropy formalism and can be employed in the evaluation of other statistical observables.

Direct SMBH Formation Driven by Runaway Stellar Collisions in Globally Unstable Stellar Systems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fueling problem addresses the ultimate fate of the reservoirs of gas and stars driven into the deepest gravitational potential wells of galaxies, thus it may contain the Universe's densest concentrations of gas and stars. This raises a key question: does the infalling material collapse directly into a supermassive black hole, or can it ...
