DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21590
Abstract: Prehensile raptorial forelegs are prey capturing and grasping devices, best known for praying mantises (Mantodea) within insects. They show strong morphological and behavioral adaptations toward a lifestyle as generalist arthropod predators. In the past, few… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12235
Abstract: A 64‐year‐old female underwent catheter ablation of long R‐P' tachycardia. Ventricular pacing exhibited retrograde conduction with an identical atrial activation sequence as during tachycardia because of an accessory pathway (AP) with a long VA conduction.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-018-6085-2
Abstract: Digenea usually use ventral sucker for sustainable attachment within intestine of their definitive vertebrate host. However, if the ventral sucker is absent or poorly developed, the means of attachment are unclear. We investigated attachment and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.210541
Abstract: Annelids are predominantly found along with the seafloor, but over time have colonized a vast diversity of habitats, such as the water column, where different modes of locomotion are necessary. Yet, little is known about… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joa.12861
Abstract: Parrots (order Psittaciformes) are a rather homogeneous group of birds that can be easily distinguished by the notably modified morphology of the skull and hindlimb. Detailed description of the forelimb morphology in these birds has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joa.13314
Abstract: Nonhuman primates have a highly diverse locomotor repertoire defined by an equally diverse hand use. Based on how primates use their hands during locomotion, we can distinguish between terrestrial and arboreal taxa. The ‘arboreal’ hand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pala.12269
Abstract: Arthropods are characterized by a rigid, articulating, exoskeleton operated by a lever-like system of segmentally arranged, antagonistic muscles. This skeletomuscular system evolved from an unsegmented body wall musculature acting on a hydrostatic skeleton, similar to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0173733
Abstract: The proper differentiation and maintenance of myofibers is fundamental to a functional musculature. Disruption of numerous mostly structural factors leads to perturbations of these processes. Among the limited number of known regulatory factors for these… read more here.
