Relationship between carina size and sternum morphology in birds reflects physical constraints of body size and flight style

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Sternum morphology varies among birds and is a function of body mass and order. The area of the sternum is inversely related to the area of the keel suggesting that the increase in bone mass associated with a large keel has been mitigated by a reduction in bone mass of the sternum.

The absence of the characteristic polygonal shape of myofibers in the pectoralis major muscles of affected bird No. 9 (A) and unaffected bird No. 15 (B).

, 2018
Absence of characteristic polygonal shape of myofibers were observed not only in the pectoralis major muscles of affected bird (8 of 9) but also the pectoralis major muscles of unaffected bird (7 of 7).

Cumulative effects of lifelong systemic excess growth hormone on postcranial skeletal morphology in adult mice

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our μCT‐based pilot study reveals size and shape disparity in the adult postcranial skeleton of growth‐hormone model (bGH) mice relative to wild‐type mice. bGH mice have larger and more sexually dimorphic bones, with a systemic radiodensity increase in bony sesamoids and associated, but typically uncalcified, soft tissues.

From sagittal to sprawled: Clavicular co‐option and the evolution of forelimb mechanics in talpines

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Forelimb posture in Eulipotyphla divides into sagittal and sprawled groups with distinct scapular and clavicular orientations. First true rib strength scales with body mass, reflecting vertical ground reaction forces, whereas clavicular strength reflects differences in medially directed forces on the pectoral girdle, especially pronounced in highly ...

Bone histological evidence for posture‐related load transmission in the talpid pectoral girdle

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Bone histology of the clavicle and scapula revealed distinct load‐bearing roles within the mammalian pectoral girdle associated with different forelimb postures. Hyper‐abducted moles exhibited an enhanced load‐bearing role of the clavicle, whereas the parasagittal shrew exhibited histological features consistent with the scapula acting as the principal

Comparative anatomy of chicken and human forelimb muscles: Implications for human congenital conditions through developmental models

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The chicken embryo is an accessible, low‐cost and genetically tractable model for studying limb development and congenital limb differences. We directly compared chicken and human limb musculature using published evidence alongside our own data and observations.
