Functional morphology considers form and function to be intrinsically related. To understand organismal functions, a detailed knowledge of morphological and physiological traits is necessary. Regarding the respiratory system, the combined k...
Immunolocalization of Pglyrp3 and Eps8l1 proteins in the regenerating lizard epidermis indicates they contribute to epidermal barrier formation [0.03%]

Claws are a common anatomical feature among limbed amniotes and contribute to a variety of functions including prey capture, locomotion, and attachment. Previous studies of both avian and non-avian reptiles have found correlations between h...
Adapting the pantograph limb: Differential robustness of fore- and hindlimb kinematics against genetically induced perturbation in the neural control networks and its evolutionary implications [0.03%]

The evolutionary transformation of limb morphology to the four-segmented pantograph of therians is among the milestones of mammalian evolution. But, it is still unknown if changes of the mechanical limb function were accompanied by correspo...
Narrowing, twisting, and undulating: Complicated movement in shark spiral intestine inferred using ultrasound [0.03%]
利用超声波推测鲨鱼螺旋肠道的收缩、扭转和摆动复杂运动特征

Every year, more and more discoveries of photoluminescence in different mammal species are made. The more recent cases thus far have been in duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhyncus anatinus), New World squirrels (Glaucomys spp.) and springhare...
A histochemical and morphological study of the mucus producing pedal gland system in Latia neritoides (Mollusca; Gastropoda; Hygrophila) [0.03%]
Latia neritoides（软体动物；腹足纲；水蝇科）粘液产生足腺系统的组织化学和形态学研究

The freshwater gastropod Latia neritoides is endemic to the streams of New Zealand's North Island. This species has evolved a unique defence system: it exudes a luminescent mucus thought to deter predators. While the bioluminescence itself ...
An ecomorphological approach to the relationship between craniomandibular morphology and diet in sigmodontine rodents from central-eastern Argentina [0.03%]

The key role of the skull in food intake and processing implicates its morphology should be to some extent adapted to the functional demands present in different diets, while also showing similarities between those which are closely related...
Comparative reproductive biology of two sympatric Hypostomus in a Neotropical river [0.03%]
同一新热带区河流中两种共存Hypostomus的比较生殖生物学研究
