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)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Morphology"
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.

Functional morphology and ventilatory implications of the intracoelomic organization of three-toed sloths
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Mammalian Biology"
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.

Integrative taxonomy, larval biology and functional morphology of the little known gall-forming coral endoparasite Petrarca (Thecostraca: Ascothoracida)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society"
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.

Insights from functional morphology and neoichnology for determining tracemakers: a case study of the reconstruction of an ancient glacial arthropod-dominated fauna
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Lethaia"
DOI: 10.1111/let.12214
Abstract: Apportioning trace fossils to producers is significant for palaeoecological and palaeoenvironmental studies. A tracemaker is usually attributed through the comparison of the morphology of the trace to the body plans of modern and extinct animals.… read more here.

Functional morphology of tarsal adhesive pads and attachment ability in ticks Ixodes ricinus (Arachnida, Acari, Ixodidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Experimental Biology"
DOI: 10.1242/jeb.152942
Abstract: ABSTRACT The presence of well-developed, elastic claws on ticks and widely pilose hosts led us to hypothesise that ticks are mostly adapted to attachment and locomotion on rough, strongly corrugated and hairy, felt-like substrates. However,… read more here.
