Human digital Meissner's corpuscles are not doubly innervated
Recent studies have shown that murine and avian Meissner‐like corpuscles are innervated by two distinct mechanoreceptor afferents with different functional properties. In addition, there is evidence that one subpopulation of Meissner cor...

Ocular morphology and morphometry of the great egret ( Ardea alba ): A comprehensive anatomical description
Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is widely distributed, yet knowledge of its ocular morphology remains limited. This study described the morphometry and morphology of the eyeball and its accessory glands in six specimens using radiography, mo...

First definitive record of a silesaurid (Avemetatarsalia: Dinosauriformes) from the Upper Triassic of India with new insights on its origin and dispersal
We report the first record of a silesaurid based on an incomplete skull and articulated mandible recovered from the Upper Triassic Tiki Formation of India. The new taxon, Rewasaurus minori gen et sp. nov., is distinguished from other sil...

Morphofunctional indices and ontogeny of long bones of the limbs in the frogs
Anuran limbs offer a valuable model for exploring how selective pressures, developmental constraints, and morphological evolution interact. While previous research has largely focused on total limb length, little is known about ontogenet...

Distribution of doublecortin in the developing retina of birds: A comparative analysis
The avian retina presents an elegant and highly accessible model for investigating the spatial and temporal dynamics of neurogenesis within the central nervous system. In recent years, the microtubule cytoskeleton has emerged not merely ...

First evidence of a mandibular crest in Brasileodactylus Kellner, 1984 (Pterosauria, Pteranodontoidea, Anhangueridae), with comments on pterosaur headcrests
Brasileodactylus araripensis Kellner, 1984, is a toothed pterosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Traditionally regarded as crestless, the species has been central to debates on anhanguerid tax...

A note on the presence and sexual dimorphism of midventral glands in African spiny mice ( Acomys cahirinus )
Midventral skin glands secrete odors that mediate social contexts and are commonly found in rodents in the Cricetidae family rather than those in the Muridae family. African spiny mice ( Acomys cahirinus ) are rodents in the family Murid...

Morphological description of the oropharyngeal cavity of Kinosternon scorpioides scorpioides (Linnaeus, 1766), (Testudines: Kinosternidae)
The oropharyngeal cavity of turtles exhibits considerable morphological diversity associated with differences in habitat, diet, and feeding strategies. However, the structural organization of this region remains poorly characterized in m...

Morphological adaptations of cervical vertebrae in plunge‐diving sulids
Foraging strategy frequently drives morphological diversification in birds. The plunge‐diving behavior of certain species makes the functional and ecological trade‐offs of variation in cervical vertebrae an especially intriguing question...

Dietary nutrients and biotics protect against injury to intestinal epithelial barrier in alcohol use disorder: A narrative review
The intestinal epithelial barrier is anatomically and functionally distinct and specifically refers to the barrier formed by epithelial cells (enterocytes) and associated junctional complexes (tight junctions, adherens junctions, and des...
