Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Fascicle measurement methods do result in lengths that are significantly different
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.A recent comparison of the most prevalent methods for measuring fascicles, in situ measurement versus chemical digestion, concluded that the measurements are indistinguishable based on data from different conspecific individuals. However, our study of contralateral muscles of the same individuals shows that the methods clearly result in statistically ...
