Human Stature Estimation Using Cranial and Mandibular Measurements

open access: yesForensic Sciences
Background: In forensic anthropology, estimating stature is an essential part of constructing the biological profile of unknown individuals. While long bones are typically used for this purpose, they are often missing or incomplete in forensic contexts ...

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

African ape carpal morphology is not too specialized to represent the ancestral hominin carpus

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Knuckle walking is one hypothesized behavior of the Pan‐Homo last common ancestor. We analyzed carpal morphology, including Euclidean distances between behavioral pairs, to investigate whether the carpals of knuckle‐walking taxa appear relatively specialized.

Integrative architecture and structural boundaries of the subdigital adhesive toe pads of Gekko gecko (Linnaeus, 1758) and guidelines for toe pad demarcation in other geckos

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The adhesively competent toe pads of Gekko gecko (and other geckos) are delimited by a combination of external and deep anatomical features and cannot be identified based upon external scale form alone. We encourage future investigators to delimit toe pads in this functionally and anatomically meaningful fashion.

Whale swimming evolution recorded in vertebral microanatomy from the Eocene to present

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Whale locomotion changed significantly from land‐living ancestors, via semi‐aquatic taxa, to today's fully aquatic species. The vertebral column is important for swimming, and this study focuses on the inner microanatomy of different vertebral regions.

Integrating Phylogenomics and Biogeography of Spectracanthicus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) Reveals Complex Evolutionary History in a Brazilian Shield Endemic Genus

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loricariidae is the most diverse catfish family in the Neotropics. Within this group, the genus Spectracanthicus presents conflicting phylogenetic signals: morphological studies suggest monophyly, whereas previous molecular analyses often yield unresolved relationships and taxonomic uncertainty.

Digital range of motion analysis is sensitive to subjective steps in joint model construction

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 1327-1344, December 2026.
A systematic sensitivity analysis of a six degree‐of‐freedom range of motion (ROM) analysis workflow was conducted to evaluate how variation in the subjective steps of the reference pose assembly affects the determined viable poses in the ankle and tarsometatarsophalangeal III joints of Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris).

The German painter Carl Borromäus Andreas Ruthart (ca. 1630-1703) and some still unregistered images of the extinct dodo, Raphus cucullatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Aves, Columbiformes)

open access: yesArquivos de Zoologia, 2019
Extinct in the seventeenth century, the famous dodo (Raphus cucullatus) remains almost unknown, and reliable historical accounts of its biology are rare.
