Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.
