The role of evolutionary integration in the morphological evolution of the skull of caviomorph rodents (Rodentia: Hystricomorpha)
(Springer, 2015-05)
The mammalian cranium is a complex structure composed by three partially independent modules: face, cranial base and cranial vault. At the same time, it interacts with the mandible by sharing the masticatory function. Since ...
Comparative cranial ontogeny of Tapirus (Mammalia: Perissodactyla: Tapiridae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-07)
Skull morphology in tapirs is particularly interesting due to the presence of a proboscis with important trophic, sensory and behavioral functions. Several studies have dealt with tapir skull osteology but chiefly in a ...
Craniofacial and mandibular variation in colonial populations of the southern andes during the 16th to 19th centuries
(Gebruder Borntraeger Verlagsbuchhandlung, 2020-11)
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the morphological variation of human populations that inhabited the southern Andes (Mendoza city, Argentina) during 16th to 19th centuries. That period represents an encounter of ...
MORFOLOGÍA Y DESEMPEÑO DEL APARATO MANDIBULAR DE SEIS ESPECIES DE PECES ICTIÓFAGOS DEMERSALES, ASOCIADOS A LOS FONDOS BLANDOS DE LA PLATAFORMA CONTINENTAL DE NAYARIT-SINALOA.
(2011-05-17)
ABSTRACT
Functional Morphology allows the evaluation of associations between form and
function, relating the anatomical variation of different structures with specific functions
which are linked to species ecology. In ...
The cranio-mandibular complex of the nightjar Systellura longirostris (Aves, Caprimulgiformes): functional relationship between osteology, myology and feeding
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2019-02)
Here we address the morphology of the cranial musculoskeletal in the South American Band-winged nightjar (Systellura longirostris, Caprimulgiformes, Aves) with the focus upon in how the mouth closure and opening mechanism ...
Bite Force in Four Pinniped Species from the West Coast of Baja California, Mexico, in Relation to Diet, Feeding Strategy, and Niche Differentiation
(Springer, 2020)
Behavioral foraging differences are known to aid in food resource partitioning in pinniped communities, but it is not known whether skull biomechanical efficiency also contributes to dietary niche partitioning. We tested ...
Anatomic variation of cranial parasympathetic ganglia
(Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontológica, 2008)
Having broad knowledge of anatomy is essential for practicing dentistry. Certain anatomical structures call for detailed studies due to their anatomical and functional importance. Nevertheless, some structures are difficult ...
Cranial morphology and phylogenetic relationships of the Middle Permian pareiasaur Embrithosaurus schwarzi from the Karoo Basin of South Africa
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-11-08)
Pareiasaurs were globally distributed, abundant, herbivorous parareptiles of the Middle to Late Permian, with the basal-most members found in the Middle Permian of South Africa. These basal taxa were particularly abundant ...
