The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority announced April 21 the release of a new Equine Health Advisory identifying key risk factors associated with fatal proximal forelimb fractures in ...

Forelimb posture in sauropod dinosaurs is still poorly understood. Although a laterally directed (semisupinated) manus is the plesiomorphic condition in sauropodomorphs, the sauropod track record ...

At the start of their research, paleobiologists Christine Janis and Borja Figueirido simply wanted to determine the hunting style of an extinct marsupial called Thylacine (also known as the "marsupial ...
