Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion
Here, we present a selection of rodent inner ear 3D models in the lateral view, with rodents from seven locomotor categories (left to right: fossorial, semifossorial, semiaquatic, terrestrial, ricochetal, arboreal, and gliding). Semicircular canal (SCC) morphology, including radius of curvature and shape, can be differentiated between specialized forms

Clustering crocodylian dental morphology: Insights into functional adaptations, diet, and ontogeny
Extant crocodylians may be divided into five clusters based on the residuals of four linear dental measurements (y‐axes) and their variation along the jaw (x‐axes). These clusters correlate to snout shape, prey preference, and feeding ecology, particularly prey size and the degree of processing necessary. Multiple families and subfamilies were found in

Factors impacting the complexity of the leporid intracranial joint
Anatomy of the intracranial joint and the 2D semi‐landmarks used to capture complexity in the intracranial joint. (a) The intracranial joint can be seen here (in red) between the parietal and occipital dorsally and the basioccipital and basisphenoid ventrally. In hares (as in this figure) the interparietals are fused to obliteration.

ABSTRACT Background Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are known to have orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) compared to healthy individuals. Consequently, treatment with oropharyngeal exercises has shown promise in some OSA cases. However, this requires an adequate orofacial myofunctional evaluation.

ABSTRACT Objectives Since 1949, occlusal contact area (OCA) has been recognised as an indicator of masticatory performance (MP), but it required individual and laborious analog measurement. Today, a digital workflow could provide automatic quantification.
