New remains of Titanochelon richardi (Testudines, Testudinidae) from the Upper Miocene of the Vallès‐Penedès Basin: taxonomic and phylogenetic implications

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The alpha‐taxonomy of continental giant tortoises (Testudinidae, Titanochelon) from the European Neogene is far from settled, which has implications for inferring their phylogenetic relationships. The diagnosis of the type species (Titanochelon bolivari) is dubious because it considered Titanochelon richardi as a junior subjective synonym ...

Wild Encounters: Analyzing Human–Animal Interactions in British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums Facilities

Zoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 461-473, September/October 2025.
We investigated the quantity and diversity of animal–visitor interactions in BIAZA‐accredited facilities, finding 740 opportunities for interactions across a range of contexts including walkthroughs and handling. Meet and greets were the most offered and were influenced by the number of individual animals, cost of interaction, and animal popularity ...

Insights into the Middle Pleistocene fauna of South Africa: Zooarchaeology, stable isotopes and dating of Pniel 6

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1120-1139, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

Variation and development of the turtle chondrocranium, with a description of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus, Kinosternidae, Cryptodira, Testudines)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 7, Page 1994-2037, July 2025.
Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

Why all those spines? Anachronistic defences in the Didiereoideae against now extinct lemurs

South African Journal of Science, 2013
Plants evolve physical defences, such as spines, against browsing herbivores. However, in some cases, these defences may be anachronistic because the principal consumers of protected parts of the plant are extinct.
