Functional Morphology of the Scaphoid in Extant African Apes, Humans and Fossil Hominins. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives The morphology of the hominoid scaphoid has played a key role in functional and evolutionary hypotheses related to the emergence of hominin bipedalism and tool use. However, the scaphoid's complex morphology is challenging to comparatively analyze via traditional 2D linear measurements.

An outsider on the Antarctic Peninsula: A new record of the non-native moth Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). [PDF]
This text reports the discovery of the microlepidopteran Plodia interpunctella at the Chilean Yelcho scientific station on Doumer Island, near the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Plodia interpunctella is a global pest known for surviving in stored food for extended periods.

Abstract Premise Imaging technologies that capture three‐dimensional (3D) variation in floral morphology at micro‐ and nano‐resolutions are increasingly accessible. In herkogamous flowers, such as those of Theobroma cacao, structural barriers between anthers and stigmas represent bottlenecks that restrict pollinator size and access to reproductive ...

Trilobites of Thailand's Cambrian–Ordovician Tarutao Group and their geological setting
Abstract Tuff‐bearing upper Cambrian to lowermost Ordovician strata on Ko Tarutao island, Satun province, southernmost peninsular Thailand, contain a rich trilobite fauna relevant to global biostratigraphy, peri‐Gondwanan palaeogeography and shifting evolutionary mode.

Skeletal age during hurricane impacts fluctuating asymmetry in Cayo Santiago rhesus macaques
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), or random deviations from symmetry, can be used as a proxy for developmental instability, and anthropogenic and natural disruptions have been associated with increased levels of FA. In this study, we investigate the effect of demographic variables (age, sex, and decade of birth) and hurricane experience on FA in a model ...

Constructing a multiple‐part morphospace using a multiblock method
Abstract Popular current methods for quantifying variation in biological shape are well‐suited to analyses of isolated parts (e.g. the same bone from the skeletons of many individuals). An analytical challenge exists for quantifying variation between the shapes of multiple‐part objects where each part has a different position, rotation or scale (e.g ...

Abstract Turtles have a highly modified body plan, including a rigid shell that constrains postcranial anatomy. Skull morphology and neck mobility may therefore be key to ecological specialization in turtles. However, the ecological signal of turtle skull morphologies has not been rigorously evaluated, leaving uncertainties about the roles of ...
