Triassic pseudosuchians evolved wildly diverse skull shapes and lifestyles from terrestrial predators & herbivores to semiaquatic ambush hunters. New morphonetric analyses show convergence in shape ≠ convergence in ecology

Clade-wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

🦇How do insect-eating bats catch prey mid-flight? South American molossid bats have specialized tongue structures, including sensory papillae + nerve-rich tissues that detect, manipulate & retain insects during aerial capture

From Canis mosbachensis to modern wolves: Canid evolutionary insights from the Early and Middle Pleistocene of Atapuerca (Spain)

54.5-million-year-old fossil from India may be oldest well-preserved euprimate petrosal discovered. It likely belonged to adapoid Marcgodinotius indicus & offers clues about early primate anatomy, movement & strepsirrhine evolution 🐒

The first Pelagiceti whale from the Eocene of Poland with its evolutionary and biogeographic significance.
Study by Daniel Tyborowski et al.: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Border Cave’s BC 1 cranium has long been linked to southern Africa’s Late Pleistocene, but its age remains uncertain as it was never directly dated. New frontal sinus evidence suggests its closest match is Later Stone Age populations

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes.
Study by Olivia Binfield et al.: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Often overlooked, Civinini’s (petrotympanic) canal links middle ear & jaw and may hold evolutionary clues. Found consistently in humans & great apes but absent in other primates, it could reflect craniofacial changes tied to bipedalism
Papini et al anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
New research used elliptic Fourier analysis to study theropod toe bone shapes from Late Cretaceous North America. Isolated pedal phalanges can identify dinosaur families like tyrannosaurids, ornithomimids, & caenagnathids. 🦖
