Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

National Mortality Databases to Assess Disease Burden in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: A Valuable Resource, But with Limitations

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Disease‐specific mortality statistics are useful measures of disease burden. Population‐based studies from a few United States counties have reported mortality in systemic autoimmune diseases (SAID). However, due to substantial differences in the population structure of these counties as well as relatively small numbers of SAID deaths in these counties,

“Lives and times”: The case for qualitative longitudinal research in anatomical sciences education

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Qualitative longitudinal research (QLR) focuses on changes in perceptions, interpretations, or practices through time. Despite longstanding traditions in social science, QLR has only recently appeared in anatomical sciences education (ASE).
