Holding a wing horizontal: Roles for muscles of the pectoral girdle other than the main two flight muscles

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.

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 ...

Variation in trabecular bone microarchitecture across rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) load‐bearing joints

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Aging of bone density (BV/TV) is regional: Forelimb [left] elements gain bone sporadically (orange) but hind limb elements [right] lose bone globally (blue). Abstract Globally, human population structure is quickly trending older, increasing the prevalence and systemic burden of age‐related skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis.

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 ...

Scaling of internal joint distance in the elbow of small‐ to medium‐sized mammals: Implications for range of motion analyses

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.
