A suture in time: The ontogeny of cranial suture morphology in mammals

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 501-516, March 2026.
Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, divergent patterns emerge both taxonomically and developmentally.

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 395-411, March 2026.
Ancestral egg‐laying Sceloporus had dorsoventrally tall female pelvises. Two of three live‐bearing clades evolved larger bodies and flatter, wider pelvises, likely reflecting relaxed allometric limits and selection for crypsis or thermoregulation in terrestrial habitats.

Ribcage Morphology in Native South American Populations From Different Altitudes: Insights From a Global Comparative Framework

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Altitude shapes human morphology as highland populations must cope with cold and hypoxic environments. Although Andean highlanders have been proposed to exhibit larger and deeper ribcages, this idea is mainly based on research using disarticulated skeletal elements or non‐South American controls. The objective of this research is to

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 245-270, February 2026.
Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

Shaping the human face: Periosteal bone modeling across ontogeny

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 271-292, February 2026.
Abstract Facial morphology is a defining aspect of Homo sapiens that distinguishes our species from fossil ancestors and plays a central role in estimating age, sex, and ancestry in both past and present populations. Understanding how the face develops during postnatal ontogeny is essential for interpreting adult facial variation.
