California sea lions employ task-specific strategies for active touch sensing [PDF]

, 2021
Active sensing is the process of moving sensors to extract task-specific information. Whisker touch is often referred to as an active sensory system since whiskers are moved with purposeful control. Even though whisker movements are found in many species,

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Global existence of weak solutions to some micro-macro models [PDF]

, 2007
On montre l'existence globale de solutions faibles à certains modèles micro-macro. En particulier on étudie le modèle FENE (le cas des ressorts) et le modèle de Doi (le cas des barres rigides). La preuve est basée sur la propagation de la compacité. Pour

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.
