There has been co-evolution of a long neck and high blood pressure in giraffes. How the cardiovascular system (CVS) has adapted to produce a high blood pressure, and how it compares with other similar sized mammals largely ...
Blood flow rate to the femur of extinct kangaroos implies a higher locomotor intensity compared to living hopping macropods

Hu, Qiaohui; Seymour, Roger S.; Snelling, Edward P.; Wells, Rod T. (Springer, 2024-01)

The stocky skeletons and post-cranial anatomy of many extinct kangaroos indicate that they might have engaged in varied locomotor behaviors, rather than bipedal hopping, as their primary mode of locomotion. This study ...
Scaling at different ontogenetic stages : gastrointestinal tract contents of a marsupial foregut fermenter, the western grey kangaroo Macropus fuliginosus melanops

Munn, Adam J.; Snelling, Edward P.; Taggart, David A.; Clauss, Marcus (Elsevier, 2022-02)

Prominent ontogenetic changes of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) should occur in mammals whose neonatal diet of milk differs from that of adults, and especially in herbivores (as vegetation is particularly distinct from ...
