The impact of preserved museum specimens is transforming and increasing by three-
dimensional (3D) imaging that creates high-fidelity online digital specimens. Through …

The accumulation of large datasets and increasing data availability have led to the
emergence of data-driven paleontological studies, which reveal an unprecedented picture of …

The mammalian cerebral cortex is anatomically organized into a six-layer motif. It is currently
unknown whether a corresponding laminar motif of neuronal activity patterns exists across …

Landmark‐based geometric morphometrics has emerged as an essential discipline for the
quantitative analysis of size and shape in ecology and evolution. With the ever‐increasing …

Simple Summary There are a total of eight distal phalanges in cattle, including those in the
hindlimb and forelimb. These bones exhibit a similar shape. In this study, bones from the …

Adaptive radiations are bursts in biodiversity that generate new evolutionary lineages and
phenotypes. However, because they typically occur over millions of years, it is unclear how …

The increased use of imaging technology in biological research has drastically altered
morphological studies in recent decades and allowed for the preservation of important …

Helical motion is prevalent in nature and has been shown to confer stability and efficiency in
microorganisms. However, the mechanics of helical locomotion in larger organisms (> 1 …

Almost nothing is known about the diets of bathypelagic fishes, but functional morphology
can provide useful tools to infer ecology. Here we quantify variation in jaw and tooth …

Snakes represent one-eighth of terrestrial vertebrate diversity, encompassing various
lifestyles, ecologies, and morphologies. However, the ecological origins and early evolution …
