DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.23402

Abstract: “Functional morphology,” in its broadest sense, is simply the study of relationships between biological form and its functions. “Function” can include many different aspects of an organism’s biological adaptations, but in this context, and as… read more here.

Functional morphology of the gonoduct of the viviparous teleost Poeciliopsis gracilis (Heckel, 1848) (Poeciliidae)

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20738

Abstract: Female teleosts do not develop Müllerian ducts; consequently, the ovary of teleosts contains two zones: germinal and gonoduct. The gonoduct lacks germinal cells, but has relevant functions in the reproductive process. We describe the functional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20956

Abstract: Extant procyonids only inhabit the Americas and are represented by six genera (Procyon, Nasua, Nasuella, Bassaricyon, Potos, and Bassariscus); all of them, except Bassariscus, are present in South America. The first records correspond to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21488

Abstract: We studied the functional morphology of the postcranial skeleton of the endemic hippopotamus Phanourios minor, derived from the Upper Pleistocene site of Ayia Napa. The deposit, which consists of a hard limestone substrate on which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42991-024-00437-z

Abstract: The earliest mammals are characterized by a series of derived characters when compared to their synapsid predecessors. In comparison to non-mammalian synapsids, these features include highly efficient teeth, a small body size, a parasagittal limb… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mambio.2019.04.010

Abstract: It recently has been claimed that sloths (Mammalia: Pilosa: Folivora) possess unique adhesions of their visceral organs that were considered to represent intracoelomic adaptations related to maximizing ventilatory efficiency in animals that hang vertically suspended… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/pab.2024.24

Abstract: Non-technical Summary Tribrachidium heraldicum is among the first large and structurally complex animals, appearing in the fossil record 550 million years ago. By using engineering software to simulate fluid flow around digital models of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/pab.2025.1

Abstract: Abstract Body mass is an important facet of reconstructing the paleobiology of fossil species and has, historically, been estimated from individual skeletal measurements. This paper demonstrates the potential advantages of estimating body mass using 3D… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-11396-x

Abstract: This study investigates the evolution of locomotory morphology and migratory behavior in nightingale-thrushes (genus Catharus), a clade of songbirds with diverse migratory strategies. With large datasets of molecular and morphometric characters, we resolve phylogenetic relationships,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlad009

Abstract: Petrarca is an ascothoracidan endoparasite in scleratinian dendrophyllid corals. Petrarca can stimulate coral growth, forming a gall chamber to house itself inside the coral skeleton. The diversity, molecular phylogeny and feeding ecology of Petrarca are… read more here.
