Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
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.

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...

The variability of giraffe skull morphology

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

The cochlear morphometry compendium: High‐resolution synchrotron measurements and normative reference values

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, 100 cadaveric temporal bones underwent synchrotron radiation phase‐contrast imaging. Images were segmented to produce 3D surface mesh models for morphological analysis. Measurements obtained for all cochleae included: standard gross dimensions, various cochlear lengths including basilar membrane length, detailed intracochlear scalar ...

Phenotypic integration and the organization of discrete facial variation

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Integration patterns shape the prevalence of discrete facial trait combinations. Abstract Facial morphology results from coordinated developmental and evolutionary processes that produce structured patterns of covariation among traits. Therefore, individual faces reflect integrated anatomical configurations rather than collections of isolated traits ...
