Effect of visual and electrosensory deterrents on captive elasmobranchs

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Commercial gillnet fisheries interact with a wide range of elasmobranch species, many of which are incidentally captured as bycatch. Deterrent technologies have emerged as a potential approach for reducing interactions with threatened elasmobranchs.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Skeletons of swiftly swimming sharks: Three‐dimensional analysis of lamniform vertebral morphology and mineral architecture

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We examined morphology, 3D arrangement, and mineral amount in cartilaginous vertebrae from four lamniform shark families (Alopiidae, Carchariidae, Cetorhinidae, and Lamnidae). We identified family‐specific mineralization trends, and regional patterning of structures along the column.

Bone histological evidence for posture‐related load transmission in the talpid pectoral girdle

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Bone histology of the clavicle and scapula revealed distinct load‐bearing roles within the mammalian pectoral girdle associated with different forelimb postures. Hyper‐abducted moles exhibited an enhanced load‐bearing role of the clavicle, whereas the parasagittal shrew exhibited histological features consistent with the scapula acting as the principal

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...
