African ape carpal morphology is not too specialized to represent the ancestral hominin carpus
Knuckle walking is one hypothesized behavior of the Pan‐Homo last common ancestor. We analyzed carpal morphology, including Euclidean distances between behavioral pairs, to investigate whether the carpals of knuckle‐walking taxa appear relatively specialized.

The adhesively competent toe pads of Gekko gecko (and other geckos) are delimited by a combination of external and deep anatomical features and cannot be identified based upon external scale form alone. We encourage future investigators to delimit toe pads in this functionally and anatomically meaningful fashion.

Aging‐related morphological changes in the obturator internus and levator ani
A cross‐sectional MRI‐based morphometric analysis of 27 women aged 25–83 years revealed age‐associated morphological differences in the obturator internus and levator ani. Older age was associated with relative superior narrowing of the obturator internus, inferior displacement of its groove and medial eminence, a more vertical orientation of the ...

Eccentric Occlusal Loads Remodel the Dentoalveolar and Temporomandibular Biomechanical Unit in Rats
Eccentric occlusal loads remodel the dentoalveolar and temporomandibular joints in the masticatory biomechanical unit in rats. (A) Bite block as an occlusal rise (OR) on the rat maxillary first molar (green region) is shown. (B) 18F‐NaF Positron emission tomography localised regions of higher metabolic activity (higher uptake in the left condyle ...
