MANDIBULAR ALLOMETRY IN HYDROCHOERUS HYDROCHAERIS (LINNAEUS, 1766) (HYDROCHERINAE, CAVIIDAE)

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia
The mammalian masticatory apparatus is a highly plastic region of the skull and thus subjected to singular ontogenetic trajectories. Here we present the first descriptive allometric pattern study of mandible among the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris),

Comparative Anatomy of the Hyoid Apparatus in Various Dog Breeds: Insights From Clinical Imaging. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study identifies breed‐related shape differences in the canine hyoid apparatus using geometric morphometrics. The results suggest that skull type influences hyoid morphology, with potential functional implications for swallowing, vocalisation and tongue movement.

Sex Prediction From the Clavicle Using Computerized Tomography Images via Traditional and Hybrid Deep Learning Models

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to perform high accuracy sex prediction from clavicle images using proposed hybrid deep learning models and traditional deep learning models. The clavicle of 807 female and 805 male individuals obtained from Computed Tomography were segmented in 3D format and saved in jpeg format as superior–inferior and right–left ...

Microbial keystone taxa and metabolic signatures in centenarians regulate intestinal homeostasis during aging

iMeta, EarlyView.
Clostridium scindens and its metabolite indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) are identified as a keystone taxon and metabolic signature in centenarians. Clostridium scindens enhances microbial network stability and produces IAA via its own amidase (AMIE) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), thus promoting intestinal homeostasis by activating the aryl hydrocarbon ...

What does external morphometry tell us about stock discrimination of Sardina pilchardus stocks from Türkiye?

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies
The analysis of shape is a fundamental part of much biological research. Morphometrics, which incorporates concepts from biology, geometry, and statistics, is the study of the geometrical form of organisms.

Morphological patterns of buccal bone plate in the maxillary esthetic zone: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This cross‐sectional study aimed to characterize buccal bone plate (BBP) morphological patterns in anterior maxillary teeth and to evaluate their association with other phenotypical and local anatomical characteristics. Methods Two examiners conducted a qualitative assessment of BBP morphological patterns using cone‐beam computed ...

Aging and periodontitis increase brain dissemination of oral bacteria

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The microbiome is a dynamic system that changes throughout life. Studies have revealed the relationship between periodontal disease and the oral microbiota; however, the impact of periodontal disease on the expression of senescence markers and on the inflammaging of the oral and systemic microbiome remains unclear.

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and

Statistical filtering to aid in the sorting of phytoplankton: The effects of image library size and phytoplankton shape

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The demand for efficient image sorting methods has increased due to technological advancements that enable more intensive phytoplankton monitoring. Both statistical and machine learning algorithms can misidentify algal taxa in taxonomically diverse samples, in which phytoplankton morphology and image traits can vary.

Contribution of leaf morphometrics in the study of genetic entries in Salix L. [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2010
The use of leaf morphometrics in Salix was investigated at three genetic entry levels: species, family and clonal (progeny genotype).Data for seven leaf parameters, were collected from four full-sib Salix eriocephala and three S.
