Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Phylogenomics of Messor harvester ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Stenammini) unravels their biogeographical origin and diversification patterns La phylogénomique des fourmis moissonneuses Messor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Stenammini) clarifie leur origine biogéographique et leurs patrons de diversification

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1025-1040, October 2025.
Phylogenomic analysis of 2524 ultraconserved‐element loci from 58 Messor harvester ant species helps in redefining taxonomic groups of the genus. Messor ants emerged in the Irano‐Indian area around 20 million years ago, rapidly dispersing to the Western Palaearctic and Northeastern Africa during the early Miocene.

Does behaviour matter? The role and feasibility of research into arthropod behavioural syndromes to inform invertebrate translocation efforts

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 869-879, September 2025.
Animal personality plays a key role in translocation success in both wild‐to‐wild and captive‐to‐wild translocations, with important implications for the success of conservation projects. However, the majority of studies so far have explored the link between personality and translocation success in vertebrate translocations, and there has been less ...

Estimating Required Sample Sizes for Gut Content Metabarcoding Studies of Dietary Diversity in Spiders

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1034-1039, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Spiders are dominant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, regulating invertebrate biomass, diversity and abundance through predation. However, analysing predation patterns in the field is challenging, especially as spiders are extra‐intestinal liquid feeders and often active at night.
