Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Insights into the structure of grey reef shark aggregation, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker, 1856), in two distinct channels of the Maldivian archipelago, Indian Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The grey reef shark Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos is one of the most frequently encountered reef‐associated shark species in the Maldives, yet very little is known about its local size structure or population dynamics. This study provides new insights into two aggregations of C.

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...

Intraoral scanning for implant‐supported complete‐arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs): Four clinical reports

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Although there are difficulties with using intraoral scans for implant‐supported complete‐arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs), several commercially available systems have become helpful in simplifying the treatment process in the prosthetic phase.

Obtaining full‐arch implant scan with smartphone video and deep learning: An in vitro investigation on trueness and precision

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the accuracy of complete‐arch implant scans generated by a smartphone camera and a deep learning model. Materials and Methods A deep learning model was trained to generate 3D scans from smartphone videos using a maxillary edentulous model with 6 implants and scan bodies (SBs).

Evaluation of the accuracy of digital workflow for implant‐supported full‐arch fixed dental prostheses using a novel micro‐CT measurement technique

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of fit of full‐arch implant titanium frameworks fabricated from a fully digital workflow using a novel micro‐CT measurement technique. Materials and Methods A 3D‐printed model with four implant analogs was fabricated.

Effect of angulation between multi‐unit abutments on trueness of photogrammetry systems

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the trueness between conventional impressions (CI) and photogrammetry for full‐arch implant‐supported prosthesis and to evaluate the effect of increased inter‐abutment angulation on trueness. Materials and Methods Three edentulous reference models containing four multiunit abutment (MUA) replicas with different inter ...

Use of open‐source software and photogrammetry in the fabrication of 3D‐printed custom trays for edentulous patients: A technical guide

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract A technique is described to obtain a 3D‐printed custom tray for complete dentures through open‐source, free software and additive manufacturing. This approach enables the production of custom trays in a cost‐effective and optimized manner. A three‐dimensional (3D) digital cast is obtained by photogrammetry and later used to design a digital ...
