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

open access: yesJournal 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.

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Secondary cartilage in the murine medial pterygoid plate has a critical role in the pathfinding of the tensor veli palatini

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The development of the medial pterygoid plate (MPP) is followed in mouse embryos, highlighting its neural crest origin and complex development via both endochondral and membranous ossification. Using transgenic mice, the secondary cartilage of the MPP is shown to direct the path of the tensor veli palatini.

Complexity measures for object-oriented conceptual models of an application domain. [PDF]

open access: yes
According to Norman Fenton few work has been done on measuring the complexity of the problems underlying software development. Nonetheless, it is believed that this attribute has a significant impact on software quality and development effort.

Developmental stage ordering yields greater cranial mineralization sequence resolution than embryo size or days since oviposition: A case study using the gekkotan Eublepharis macularius (Blyth, 1854)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We employ a set of leopard gecko embryos for which size, day of development, and developmental stage are known to assess which timetable accords with the greatest resolution of cranial mineralization events. Developmental staging yielded the best outcome. Abstract Mineralization sequences of cranial elements (often referred to as ossification sequences)

Geographic variation in Caluromys derbianus and Caluromys lanatus (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae)

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2015
We analyzed the geographic variations in the shape and size of the cranium and mandible of two woolly opossums, Caluromys derbianus and Caluromys lanatus. Using geometric morphometrics we analyzed 202 specimens of C.
