DOI: 10.1002/cne.25461
Abstract: Domestic pigs have a prominent cortical gyrus (the rostrum gyrus) isomorphic to the contralateral hemirostrum. It is unclear, however, if the size and shape of the rostrum gyrus are of evolutionary/functional relevance. Here, we address… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15018
Abstract: Recent comparative studies of billfishes (Istiophoridae and Xiphiidae) have provided evidence of differences in the form and function of the rostra (bill) among species. Here, we report the discovery of a new structure, lacuna rostralis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/min10080713
Abstract: The microstructure of the rostrum solidum of Jurassic belemnites is compared with that of Sepia cuttlebones, in order to examine possible convergences in their style of growth. For this study, transmitted and polarized light, cathodoluminescence,… read more here.
