Clavicles (collar bones) are variably present in mammals. Furculae (wishbones)--which may or may not be homologous with clavicles--are variably present and/or fused in birds and present in theropod dinosaurs. In this overview the development of clavicles and furculae is discussed with special attent

A recent hypothesis suggests that resting metabolic rate, measured as energy expended per unit body mass per unit time, might be implicated in the rate of nucleotide substitution in animals. Using relative rate tests on DNA-DNA hybridization data from birds, we show that generation time is significa

Currently accepted theories of the urine concentrating mechanism of the mammalian kidney predict that concentrating ability should increase with increasing length of the loop of Henle. However, larger mammals have longer nephrons than do smaller ones, yet concentrating ability declines with increasi
