The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.
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 ...

Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging-based statistical shape analysis and machine learning-based prediction of patellofemoral instability

Scientific Reports
This study performed three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based statistical shape analysis (SSA) by comparing patellofemoral instability (PFI) and normal femur models, and developed a machine learning (ML)-based prediction model ...

DNA barcoding and geometric morphometry of tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) in Thailand and a new record of a Thai horse fly

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 498-511, September 2026.
Tabanus tenens identified in this study is a newly recorded species in Thailand. DNA barcoding using the cox1 gene identified tabanid species in the present study. WGM data from different sites served as a reference for species identification. Abstract Tabanid flies are gaining high medical and veterinary importance due to their role as a vector of ...

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible

Boreas
The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is considered the common ancestor of all modern Ursini. U. minimus is thought to have been omnivorous, with a preference for invertebrates.

Combined Antiresorptive and Anabolic Drug Approach in Osteogenesis Imperfecta Zebrafish Models: A Geometric Morphometrics and Shape Analysis Perspective

Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder primarily affecting type I collagen biosynthesis, leading to brittle bones and skeletal deformities.

Missing Landmark Estimation Using Reverse Engineering: Challenges and Potential Solutions for the Study of Hominin Long Bones

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fragmentary preservation represents a fundamental limitation in palaeoanthropological research, particularly for postcranial elements where symmetry cannot be exploited and large portions of bone are frequently missing. Although a wide range of virtual reconstruction methods exist, many rely on strong anatomical priors, localized interpolation,

Individual Differences of Cortical and Subcortical Emotion‐Informed Functional Gradients

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 11, 01 August 2026.
Emotion‐informed functional gradients, computed from emotion‐annotated fMRI frames, provide increased control over inter‐subject synchronization in comparison to resting state fMRI. This flexibility enables improved identification of diverse individual traits requiring different degrees of subject alignment. ABSTRACT The complex interplay between brain

Machine Learning on Magnetoencephalography Data Yields Generalizable Low‐Dimensional Neural Fingerprints That Distinguish Individuals Across Task Conditions

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 11, 01 August 2026.
Bayesian Reduced Rank Regression model was utilized to extract individual features from various metrics derived from resting and task magnetoencephalography recordings. The model remained generalizable at typical neuroimaging sample sizes (20–44).
