Variation in parrot jaw musculature
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

An osteohistological analysis of Triceratops (Ornithischia: Ceratopsidae) cranial ornamentation
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ceratopsids are among the most distinctive and well known extinct Cretaceous vertebrates, yet many details regarding the growth and composition of their cranial features are still not fully anatomically described or understood. In particular, striking cranial adornments such as the postorbital horns and parietal‐squamosal frill of Triceratops ...
