Anatomical structures vary among mammals with different locomotor behaviours, including sensory structures such as the semicircular canals (SCCs) in the inner ear. Recent SCC research has examined various mammalian groups, but there has been a lack of research on rodents, the most speciose and diverse mammalian order. [...]

The genus Eucyon includes several Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene canid species, the earliest of which, Eucyon davisi, is regarded as basal in the radiation of the Canini. Eucyon monticinensis is known from Italy (Late Miocene) and Spain (Early Pliocene). [...]

In this study, we review and analyze one of the most scarcely recorded carnivorans of the European Quaternary, the leopard (Panthera pardus), focusing on its presence in the Pyrenean Mountain range. Our data reveal a progressive increase in both the number of records and the body mass of leopards throughout the Pleistocene, beginning with the earliest specimens from the Early Pleistocene. [...]

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using morphology to establish the placement of species on phylogenetic trees derived from molecular data. This is relevant in the case of recently extinct or fossil species, which are usually represented only by fragmentary morphology. [...]

Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two-dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole-bone three-dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have not been quantifiable but are functionally meaningful.

La resurrecció del porc tetraconodont de Sant Quirze
/
Alba, David M. (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
La recent descripció de les restes fòssils del porc tetraconodont del Miocè Superior de Sant Quirze confirma la validesa d'una espècie descrita fa més de cent anys, fins fa poc inadvertida. L'estudi mostra les incertes relacions de parentiu amb altres espècies de súids tetraconodontins del Miocè d'Europa, però suggereix que dos llinatges d'aquesta subfamília podrien haver adquirit proporcions dentals similars independentment. La reciente descripción de los restos fósiles del cerdo tetraconodonto del Mioceno Superior de Sant Quirze confirma la validez de una especie descrita hace más de cien años, hasta hace poco inadvertida. [...] The recent description of tetraconodont pig remains from the Late Miocene of Sant Quirze confirms the distinctiveness of a species described more than a hundred years ago, which had remained unnoticed until recently.

We have conducted a reassessment of dinosaur caudal vertebrae from the Cenomanian Alcântara Formation in the Maranhão State, northeastern Brazil. These elements were originally described as belonging to the coeval African theropod Sigilmassasaurus. [...] Hemos llevado a cabo una reevaluación taxonómica de vértebras caudales de dinosaurios de la Formación Alcântara del Cenomaniano en el estado de Maranhão, noreste de Brasil. Estos elementos fueron descritos originalmente como pertenecientes al terópodo africano contemporáneo Sigilmassasaurus. [...]
