Tooth row allometry in domestic rabbits and nondomestic lagomorphs: Evidence for a decoupling of body and tooth row size changes in evolutionary time

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

A New Method for Constructing Self-Dual Codes over Finite Commutative Rings with Characteristic 2

Mathematics
In this work, we present a new method for constructing self-dual codes over finite commutative rings R with characteristic 2. Our method involves searching for k×2k matrices M over R satisfying the conditions that its rows are linearly independent over R

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Isometries of tridiagonal algebras [PDF]

Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 1989
Alg \({\mathcal L}\) denotes the algebra of bounded operators which leave invariant all of the elements in \({\mathcal L}\) that is a family of subspaces. When Alg \({\mathcal L}\) is some tridiagonal algebra, the author proves that if \(\phi: Alg {\mathcal L}\to Alg {\mathcal L}\) is a linear surjective isometry, then there exist unitary operators W ...

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

Classification of Three-Dimensional Contact Metric Manifolds with Almost-Generalized $\mathit{Ƶ}$-Solitons

Mathematics
This work investigates the classification of three-dimensional complete contact metric manifolds that are non-Sasakian and satisfy the relation Qξ=σξ, focusing on those that support an almost-generalized Ƶ-soliton. In the scenario where σ is constant, we

New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

On the Relation Between Distances and Seminorms on Fréchet Spaces, with Application to Isometries

Mathematics
A study is made of linear isometries on Fréchet spaces for which the metric is given in terms of a sequence of seminorms. This establishes sufficient conditions on the growth of the function that defines the metric in terms of the seminorms to ensure ...

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.
