Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates from at least 30 distinct lineages in both extinct and extant clades have returned to aquatic environments. With these transitions came numerous morphological adaptations to accommodate life in water. Relatively little attention has been paid to the cervical region when tracking this transition.

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

Commentary: The missing sabertooth baculum—At what point might the absence of evidence reasonably be considered evidence of absence?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Most carnivorans and all modern felids have ossified bacula; however, no machairodont baculum has ever been identified. This is true despite the many fairly complete skeletons found around the world of several sabertooth taxa. Although the bacula of modern felids are much smaller than those of canoids (even the least weasel's baculum is longer
