Estimation of body volume and body density in California sea lion pups
(Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2002)
Body volume was measured directly by the water displacement method and using three different geometric models, consisting of a series of cones and truncated cones, in California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) pups from ...
Mass estimation of Santacrucian sloths from the Early Miocene Santa Cruz Formation of Patagonia, Argentina
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Institute of Paleobiology, 2014-08)
Miocene deposits of the Santa Cruz Formation, Patagonia, comprise a diverse and excellently preserved vertebrate fauna, allowing detailed paleobiological and paleoecological studies based on three ecological parameters: ...
Do different methods yield equivalent estimations of brain size in birds?
(2020-08-31)
The ratio of brain size to body size (relative brain size) is often used as a measure of relative investment in the brain in ecological and evolutionary studies on a wide range of animal groups. In birds, a variety of ...
Body mass estimation in Early Miocene native South American ungulates: A predictive equation based on 3D landmarks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-05)
South American native ungulates include extinct taxa that evolved within the geographical context given by the isolation of South America during most of the Cenozoic. The ungulates (orders Notoungulata, Litopterna and ...
Biometric measures, body score and body mass index evaluation in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) living in the South-Central region of São Paulo state, BrazilMedidas biométricas, avaliação do escore corporal e índice de massa corpórea em Quatis (Nasua nasua) de vida livre da região Centro Sul do estado de São Paulo, Brasil
(2019-01-01)
Background: Coatis (Nasua nasua) have easy interaction with man, besides being sociable and curious animals. The proximity to urbanized areas encourages them to intake food from anthropogenic sources, and it can change ...
Interatheriidae (Typotheria; Notoungulata), body size and paleoecology characterization
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2011-03)
Size has a major influence on animal’s adaptation to its environment and is central to paleobiological characterization of fossil mammals. We present new models of body mass estimation for the Interatheriidae (Notoungulata, ...
Body mass predicts isotope enrichment in herbivorous mammals
(Royal Society Publishing, 2018)
Carbon isotopic signatures recorded in vertebrate tissues derive from ingested food and thus reflect ecologies and ecosystems. For almost two decades, most carbon isotope-based ecological interpretations of extant and ...
Body Mass Index Cutoff Point Estimation As Obesity Diagnostic Criteria In Down Syndrome Adolescents
