Much more than their fangs: Macroscopic anatomy of the brain of Bothrops moojeni Hoge 1966 (Squamata, Serpentes, Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

MicroCT reinvestigation of the only articulated fossil anostomid fish reveals synonymy of Arhinolemur Ameghino, 1898 and Megaleporinus Ramirez et al., 2017

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Arhinolemur scalabrinii† Ameghino, 1898 was originally described as a strepsirrhine primate (Mammalia) but has been recognized as an anostomid fish since 2012. It remains the only extinct anostomid species known from complete cranial material.

Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

Postcranial anatomy and osteohistology of an early prozostrodont cynodont from the Upper Triassic of Brazil

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.

Integrated microanatomy and microstructure of the maxillary tooth plate reveal a reinforced feeding system and tougher diet in Late Triassic Hyperodapedontinae (Rhynchosauria, Archosauromorpha)

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.

Balancing mechanics and metabolism: Elevational variation in the microanatomy of hummingbird flight muscle

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.
