Tools for quantitative form description : an evaluation of different software packages for semi-landmark analysis [PDF]
, 2015 The challenging complexity of biological structures has led to the development of several methods for quantitative analyses of form. Bones are shaped by the interaction of historical (phylogenetic), structural, and functional constrains.

Assessment of temperature effects on body shape in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus juveniles using the truss network system [PDF]
Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2021 Among the environmental factors, water temperature has a significant effect on many aspects of fish life. This study was carried out to examine effects of water temperature on body shape of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus during the early stages of ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

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 ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Walruses have been an important subsistence and cultural resource for humans and have been exploited for millennia across their distribution. This exploitation has contributed to severe declines in several populations and local extirpations.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Approximating the Little Grothendieck Problem over the Orthogonal and Unitary Groups [PDF]
, 2015 The little Grothendieck problem consists of maximizing $\sum_{ij}C_{ij}x_ix_j$ over binary variables $x_i\in\{\pm1\}$, where C is a positive semidefinite matrix.
