The paper investigates whether subterranean mammals have more elastic skin due to elongated hyaluronan polymers, but finds no consistent evidence for this and suggests previous studies may have conflated elasticity with skin looseness.

This study quantifies peri-iridal brightness in terrestrial non-primate mammals and finds that photoprotective demands, eye size, and ecology significantly influence ocular pigmentation.

This study analyzes dance displays in crested gibbons, revealing they are structured, intentional, and rhythmic visual communication used by sexually mature females in various contexts.

This paper revisits neuron count estimates for dinosaurs, identifies flaws in previous analyses, and argues for more integrative approaches to reconstruct Mesozoic dinosaur biology.
