Montane forest tree species have lower hydraulic efficiency and vulnerability than lowland forest species in the Atlantic Forest [PDF]
The adaptations of plants to different environments are closely related to their wood anatomical traits. This study investigated the wood anatomy of a montane forest community and compared it with anatomical data from three other areas in the Atlantic ...

Primate modularity and evolution: first anatomical network analysis of primate head and neck musculoskeletal system [PDF]
Network theory is increasingly being used to study morphological modularity and integration. Anatomical network analysis (AnNA) is a framework for quantitatively characterizing the topological organization of anatomical structures and providing an ...

Applying CLSM to increment core surfaces for histometric analyses: A novel advance in quantitative wood anatomy [PDF]
A novel procedure has been developed to conduct cell structure measurements on increment core samples of conifers. The procedure combines readily available hardware and software equipment. The essential part of the procedure is the application of a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) which captures images directly from increment cores surfaced ...

First anatomical network analysis of fore- and hindlimb musculoskeletal modularity in bonobos, common chimpanzees, and humans [PDF]
Studies of morphological integration and modularity, and of anatomical complexity in human evolution typically focus on skeletal tissues. Here we provide the first network analysis of the musculoskeletal anatomy of both the fore- and hindlimbs of the two
