General Morphology and Neurite Projection Patterns of Supramedullary Neurons in the Cunner, Tautogolabrus adspersus
Supramedullary neurons (SMNs) are located on the dorsal surface of the hindbrain and spinal cord in many adults of teleost fishes. Comparative morphological studies have revealed differences in SMN size, number and distribution among fis...

The Evolutionary History of Early Ray‐Finned Fishes (Pan‐Actinopterygii)
One out of every two vertebrate species is a ray‐finned fish (Actinopterygii). The ~380‐million‐year fossil record of ray‐finned fishes provides a window into the evolutionary history of actinopterygian diversity in deep time. The actino...

A Continuously‐Resolved 3D Organisation of the Rat Stomach
The anatomy of the stomach informs about the specific inter‐regional functions of the digestive process. Eight whole stomachs from Sprague–Dawley rats were stained with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) and imaged using a SkyScan 1172 CT scanne...

Ventral Surface Microanatomy of the Raptor Pes Is Most Strongly Linked to Prey Size and Diet Rather Than Phylogeny in Australian Species
The ventral microstructures on the digits of birds are comprised of reticulate scales. This epidermal structure presents as cornified papillae, rather than the typical flattened scutellate scales (scutes) found on the dorsal surfaces of ...

Morphological Variation of the Red‐Bellied Piranha Pygocentrus nattereri Kner 1858 (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) Across Bolivia: Insights From Historical and Ecological Factors
The red‐bellied piranha, Pygocentrus nattereri Kner 1858, is one of the most widespread and economically important freshwater fishes in the Amazon and De La Plata basins, yet the factors driving its morphological variation remain poorly ...

Fusion of the Basal Phalanges of Digit II in Accipitridae (Aves: Eagles, Hawks, and Kites): A Functional Trade‐Off Between Rapid Force Transmission and Surface‐Conforming Grasp
Accipitridae (eagles, hawks, and kites) are raptorial birds whose anisodactyl feet combine support, perching, and prey capture. In several Accipitridae, the proximal and intermediate phalanges of the inner toe (digit II; phalanges II‐1 a...

Morphology and Phylogeny of Thylacoplethus squillae (Rhizocephala: Thompsoniidae), a Parasite of the Mantis Shrimp Harpiosquilla harpax
Parasitic barnacles (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala) are among the most highly specialized parasitic groups, exhibiting profound morphological modifications and a remarkable capacity to manipulate crustacean hosts. Thompsoniidae, a family of h...

Extending Without Extensors: Morphofunctional Insights and Qualitative Experiments on Myriapod Legs
Until recently, the absence of intrinsic extensor muscles in the distal leg joints of Myriapoda—a condition previously recognized in spiders—was known but scattered across various publications, lacking a consolidated overview. This has l...

Comparative Morphology and Mechanics of Aquatic and Terrestrial Feeding Salamanders
Salamanders are often used as models to understand the iconic vertebrate water–land transition as they exhibit similar morphology and, presumably, ecologies as early tetrapods. Recent studies have demonstrated previously unappreciated di...
