Quadrate orientation and joint reaction force underwent correlated evolution during suchian evolution

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The quadrate is the cranial bone of the nonmammalian jaw joint. The quadrate has long been hypothesized to mirror the direction of joint reaction forces (JRF) during feeding. This study uses 3D biomechanical modeling to reveal a striking evolutionary link between quadrate orientation and JRF direction, unlocking new insights into the dynamic forces ...

Measuring sexual dimorphism in human faces

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
CVA outperforms regression scoring when measuring sexual dimorphism in human faces, allowing for more accurate classification and shape reconstruction. Method selection has a significant impact on findings, necessitating a reevaluation of previous claims linking facial masculinity to traits such as height.

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.
