A 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the bovid distal humerus, with special reference to Rusingoryx atopocranion (Pleistocene, Eastern Africa). [PDF]
J AnatWe use 3D geometric morphometrics to investigate the functional morphology of the distal humerus in extant bovids, finding that habitat preference, body mass and tribe affiliation have identifiable morphological signals. We then use these results to interpret the ecology of the extinct alcelaphine bovid Rusingoryx atopocranion and the implications of ...
