Variation in predicted COVID-19 risk among lemurs and lorises
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which in humans leads to the disease COVID-19, has caused global disruption and more than 2 million fatalities since it first emerged in late 2019. As we write, infection rates are at their highest point globally and are rising extremely rapidly in some areas due to...Melin, Amanda D ; Orkin, Joseph D ; Janiak, Mareike C ; Valenzeula, Alejandro ; Kuderna, Lukas …

Cetacean Skeletons Demonstrate Ecologically Relevant Variation in Intraskeletal Stable Isotopic Values
Conservation science requires quickly acquiring information and taking action in order to protect species at risk of extinction. Stable isotope measurements are one way to rapidly gather data regarding species’ foraging ecology and habitat use, and passively collected samples limit additional stress to at-risk species. For these samples to be...Smith, Kerri J ; Sparks, Jed P ; Timmons, Zena L ; Peterson, Markus J

High-quality carnivoran genomes from roadkill samples enable comparative species delineation in aardwolf and bat-eared fox
In a context of ongoing biodiversity erosion, obtaining genomic resources from wildlife is essential for conservation. The thousands of yearly mammalian roadkill provide a useful source material for genomic surveys. To illustrate the potential of this underexploited resource, we used roadkill samples to study the genomic diversity of the bat-eared...Allio, Rémi ; Tilak, Marie-Ka ; Scornavacca, Celine ; Avenant, Nico L ; Kitchener, Andrew C …

Cutting the Gordian knot: A historical and taxonomic revision of the Jurassic crocodylomorph Metriorhynchus
Metriorhynchidae was a clade of extinct crocodylomorphs that adapted to a pelagic lifestyle, becoming a key component of Mesozoic lagoonal and coastal marine ecosystems. The type genus Metriorhynchus is one of the best-known genera of Mesozoic crocodylomorphs, and since the mid-19th century, the ‘concept’ of Metriorhynchus has become associated with the referred species Me. superciliosus. Historically Metriorhynchus has...Young, Mark T ; Brignon, Arnaud ; Sachs, Sven ; Hornung, Jahn J ; Foffa, Davide …

The braincase and inner ear of ‘Metriorhynchus’ cf. ‘M.’ brachyrhynchus–implications for aquatic sensory adaptations in crocodylomorphs
During their long evolutionary history crocodylomorphs achieved a great diversity of body sizes, ecomorphotypes and inferred feeding ecologies. One unique group of crocodylomorphs are the thalattosuchians, which lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous (ca. 191–125 Ma). They transitioned from shallow marine species, like teleosauroids, into fully pelagic forms with paddle...Schwab, Julia A ; Young, Mark T ; Herrera, Yanina ; Witmer, Lawrence M ; Walsh, Stig A …

Review of Fossil Collections in Scotland
In March 2019, National Museums Scotland began a two-year project, funded by the John Ellerman Foundation, to review natural science collections across Scotland. Although ‘natural science’ encompasses a range of subjects, consultation with the Scottish museum sector had highlighted particular concern around the care and use of fossil collections. Other...Beardmore, Susan
