Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Craniometrical sexual dimorphism of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, Canidae, Carnivora) in Bulgaria
Cranial sexual dimorphism in grey wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) from Bulgaria has not been studied so far. Skulls from adult individuals from across the country were studied.

Developmental neurogenetics of sexual dimorphism in Aedes aegypti
Sexual dimorphism, a poorly understood but crucial aspect of vector mosquito biology, encompasses sex-specific physical, physiological, and behavioral traits related to mosquito reproduction.

Sexual dimorphism in relation to adipose tissue and intrahepatocellular lipid deposition in early infancy [PDF]
Sexual dimorphism in adiposity is well described in adults, but the age at which differences first manifest is uncertain. Using a prospective cohort, we describe longitudinal changes in directly measured adiposity and intrahepatocellular lipid (IHCL) in ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Lack of support for the association between facial shape and aggression: a reappraisal based on a worldwide population genetics perspective [PDF]
Antisocial and criminal behaviors are multifactorial traits whose interpretation relies on multiple disciplines. Since these interpretations may have social, moral and legal implications, a constant review of the evidence is necessary before any ...

Craniodental Sexual Dimorphism Among Hylobatids
Sexual dimorphism has been widely documented in primates, however craniodental sexual dimorphism among hylobatids has not been well researched. In this study, I investigate interspecific differences in the presence and pattern of craniodental sexual ...

Abstract Teleocichla comprises small cichlids that inhabit the rapid streams of Amazonian rivers; however, there has been limited research on their encephalon morphology. This study examined the neuroanatomy of four species, focusing on volumetric measurements of their encephalon subregions, and providing a histological description of the encephalon of

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MSCT ANALYSIS OF SEXUAL DIMORPHISM IN FACIAL SKULL AND PIRIFORM APERTURE MORPHOLOGY IN SOUTH BULGARIA [PDF]
Purpose: Human skeleton exhibits varying degrees of sexual dimorphism – the pelvic bones, limbs long bones and the skull are the most frequently studied.

Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...
