Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

From sagittal to sprawled: Clavicular co‐option and the evolution of forelimb mechanics in talpines
Forelimb posture in Eulipotyphla divides into sagittal and sprawled groups with distinct scapular and clavicular orientations. First true rib strength scales with body mass, reflecting vertical ground reaction forces, whereas clavicular strength reflects differences in medially directed forces on the pectoral girdle, especially pronounced in highly ...

Excavation at University College London revealed more than 8700 human skeletal fragments representing at least 38 individuals, alongside over 800 animal remains. Features consistent with dissection, specimen preparation and curation provide evidence for the use of human and animal material in nineteenth‐century anatomical education, offering rare ...

ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact.
