The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

DNA fingerprints of captive wolves (Canis lupus) [PDF]
Hereditas, 2008 offspring) are available in terms of, e.g., radionu- clides (WOLFF and HOLLEMAN 1978; SHERIDAN and TAMARIN 1986), protein electrophoresis (SCHWARTZ et al. 1989), and DNA fingerprinting (JEFFREYS et al. 1985a,b, 1987; WETTON et al. 1987), effective methods for assessment of related- ness beyond that of first order relatives without any further ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Amino Acids Sequences Analysis on Collagen [PDF]
, 2007 Staring from available information about amino acids properties and sequences on collagen type I chains, the aims of the study were to identify the principal property component and to analyze the similarities within and between collagens on five species.

Monitoring wolf populations using howling points combined with sign survey transects [PDF]
, 2005 Wolves respond to simulated howling, especially during the mating and breeding seasons. Simulated howling points are, therefore, commonly used by many wolf researchers around the world to estimate pack numbers in a given area.
