The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont of the clade Prozostrodontia, is recognized as a key taxon for understanding the origin of Mammaliaformes and mammals. Despite detailed investigations of its cranial anatomy, the postcranial skeleton has received comparatively less attention.

Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.
