Developmental constraints can have significant influence on the magnitude and direction of evolutionary change, and many studies have demonstrated that these effects are manifested on macroevolutionary scales. Phenotypic integration, or the strong interactions among traits, has been similarly invoked as a major influence on morphological variation, and many studies have demonstrated that trait ...

Abstract Background The morphometric results after breast augmentations are generally understood to be clinically different between trans(gender) and cis(gender) women. objective of this study was establish these differences the augmented breasts trans cis women their implications for preoperative planning expectation management Methods A single-center, observational cross-sectional conducted. ...

This research examines the pattern of secular change in the cranial morphology of two populations experiencing the epidemiological transition associated with decreased mortality rates in children, followed by declines in infant mortality and subsequent increases in adult longevity. The two samples examined in this study come from US and Portuguese individuals. The epidemiological transition occ...
