Dental anomalies in Pleistocene African hippopotamuses from Olduvai Bed II
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hippopotamuses are key palaeoenvironmental indicators in African Pleistocene ecosystems due to their ecological dependence on permanent water bodies and their frequent representation in the fossil record. This study examines dental anomalies in Hippopotamus cf. gorgops from several localities in Bed II of Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania), dated to ca.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont of the clade Prozostrodontia, is recognized as a key taxon for understanding the origin of Mammaliaformes and mammals. Despite detailed investigations of its cranial anatomy, the postcranial skeleton has received comparatively less attention.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Factors varying along elevational gradients impose strong aerodynamic and physiological constraints on powered flight, yet the internal microanatomical variation associated with elevational context in animals under such conditions remains poorly understood.

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Morphological adaptations of cervical vertebrae in plunge‐diving sulids
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Foraging strategy frequently drives morphological diversification in birds. The plunge‐diving behavior of certain species makes the functional and ecological trade‐offs of variation in cervical vertebrae an especially intriguing question. This study compares cervical vertebrae across five plunge‐diving species and two non‐plunge‐diving species,

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dental plates are pivotal in the lungfish paleontological record, constituting highly mineralized structures resilient to diagenetic processes. This study provides a detailed description and quantitative shape analysis of 95 newly discovered Gnathorhiza sp. dental plates from the Middle–Late Permian Corumbataí Formation, Brazil.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is widely distributed, yet knowledge of its ocular morphology remains limited. This study described the morphometry and morphology of the eyeball and its accessory glands in six specimens using radiography, morphometry, light and scanning electron microscopy, and 3D scanning.

Anatomical and histological characterization of the heart of the scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.The graphical abstract illustrates the scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber) and two views of its heart (ventral and dorsal), highlighting its external morphology. The study also employed complementary approaches, including morphometric analysis, radiography, histological examination, and scanning electron microscopy, to provide a comprehensive ...
