Towards the resolution of a long-standing evolutionary question: muscle identity and attachments are mainly related to topological position and not to primordium or homeotic identity of digits
(Wiley, 2015-04)
Signaling for limb bone development usually precedes that for muscle development, such that cartilage is generally present before muscle formation. It remains obscure, however, if: (i) tetrapods share a general, predictable ...
The anatomy of the upper cretaceous snake Najash rionegrina Apesteguia & Zaher, 2006, and the evolution of limblessness in snakes
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009)
Najash rionegrina Apesteguia & Zaher, 2006, a terrestrial fossil snake from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentina, represents the first known snake with a sacrum associated with robust, well-developed hind limbs. Najash ...
Evolution of form and function: morphophysiological relationships and locomotor performance in tropidurine lizards
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2012)
Locomotor capacity is often considered an excellent measure of whole animal performance because it requires the integrated functioning of many morphological, physiological (and biochemical) traits. However, because studies ...
Evolution of Body Elongation in Gymnophthalmid Lizards: Relationships with Climate
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCESAN FRANCISCO, 2013-08-02)
The evolution of elongated body shapes in vertebrates has intrigued biologists for decades and is particularly recurrent among squamates. Several aspects might explain how the environment influences the evolution of body ...
Statistical validation for clinical measures: Repeatability and agreement of Kinect based software
(Hindawi Limited, 2018-03-20)
Background. The rehabilitation process is a fundamental stage for recovery of people's capabilities. However, the evaluation of the process is performed by physiatrists and medical doctors, mostly based on their observations, ...
Trend of maximal inspiratory pressure in mechanically ventilated patients: predictors
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2008)
INTRODUCTION: It is known that mechanical ventilation and many of its features may affect the evolution of inspiratory muscle strength during ventilation. However, this evolution has not been described, nor have its ...
Efeito das ondas de choque extracorpóreas na desmite experimentalmente induzida em eqüinos
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2003)
Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar os efeitos da terapia por ondas de choque extracorpóreas na desmite induzida experimentalmente no ligamento suspensório do boleto do membro pélvico em eqüinos. Foram utilizados 10 ...
The evolution of jumping performance in anurans: morphological correlates and ecological implications
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009)
We investigated the evolution of anuran locomotor performance and its morphological correlates as a function of habitat use and lifestyles. We reanalysed a subset of the data reported by Zug (Smithson. Contrib. Zool. 1978; ...
