The tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) is the only extant rhynchocephalian reptile and it appears to closely resemble fossil rhynchocephalians, implying retention of primitive rhynchocephalian traits. Because of their endangered status, however,...

Background: Neural circuits form the basis for brain function and behavior. However, solely focusing on adult brains can sometimes overlook prior events that may have shaped this anatomy. These other perspectives can prov...

Introduction: Similarly sized brains can be made of highly different neuron numbers, that is along the evolution of amniotes multiple shifts in the evolution of the brain-size vs brain-neurons scaling relationships should...
Spectral transmittance of the ocular media of eight seabird species from two orders: Procellariiformes (petrels and shearwaters) and Suliformes (gannets and shags) [0.03%]

Many, but not all, bird taxa possess the ability to see ultraviolet (UV) light, but it is currently unclear the extent this ability exists among seabirds. Measuring retinal photoreceptor sensitivity presents many challenges, but the penetra...

Introduction: Star-nosed moles are renowned as the fastest foragers among mammals, able to identify and eat small prey in less than a quarter of a second. This ability stems in part from the mole's extraordinary mechanose...
