We described newly discovered baenid specimens from the Uintan North American Land Mammal Age (NALMA), in the Uinta Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah. These specimens include a partial skull and several previously undescribed postcranial elements of Baena arenosa, and numerous well-preserved shells of B. arenosa and Chisternon undatum. Baenids from the Uintan NALMA (46.5-40 Ma) are critical in that ...
Anatomical landmarks are defined as biologically meaningful loci that can be unambiguously defined and repeatedly located with a high degree of accuracy and precision. The neurocranial surface is characteristically void of such loci. We define a new class of landmarks, termed fuzzy landmarks, that will allow us to represent the form of the neurocranium. A fuzzy landmark represents the position ...
Models of vertebrate skull evolution stress the coordinated developmental relationship between the skull and the brain that it houses. This study investigates the relationship between altered skull morphology and brain morphology in premature fusion of the cranial sagittal suture (isolated sagittal synostosis; ISS), a condition associated with dysmorphology of both neurocranium and brain. Altho...
Sexual dimorphism is common in nature and has the potential to increase intraspecific variation in performance and patterns of resource use. We sought to determine whether anadromous threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, exhibit sexual dimorphism in feeding kinematics. We filmed four males and four females consuming live prey in a total of 51 sequences filmed at 500 Hz, then tested fo...
de Pinna, Mdrio C.C., and Richard P. Vari. Monophyly and Phylogenetic Diagnosis of the Family Cetopsidae, with Synonymization of the Helogenidae (Teleostei: Siluriformes). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 571, 26 pages, 20 figures, 1995.—The Neotropical catfishes currently recognized as the families Cetopsidae and Helogenidae are hypothesized to be sister groups. The two taxa share ...
This study was conducted to make the three-dimensional modelling of skull in Van cats by using computed tomographic images and determine morphometric features between sexes. The skulls 16 adult were used study. anesthetized animals scanned a Computed Tomography (CT) device their obtained. These converted structure MIMICS 20.1 software measurements calculated. It determined that total length (TL...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical control of speed in steady undulatory swimming. The roles of body flexural stiffness, driving frequency and driving amplitude were examined; these variables were chosen because of their importance in vibration theory and their hypothesized functions in undulatory swimming. Using a mold of a pumpkinseed sunfish Lepomis gibbosus, we cast...
Titanosaurians were a flourishing group of sauropod dinosaurs during Cretaceous times. Fossils of titanosaurians have been found on all continents and their remains are abundant in a number of Late Cretaceous sites. Nonetheless, the cranial anatomy of titanosaurians is still very poorly known. The Spanish latest Cretaceous locality of "Lo Hueco" yielded a relatively well preserved, titanosauria...
The head consists of the skull, face, scalp, teeth, brain, cranial nerves, meninges, special sense organs, and other structures such as blood vessels, lymphatics, and fat. It is also the site where food is ingested and air is inspired and expired (Fig. 101; Fig. 102). Diseases of important structures in the head form the bases of many medical, dental, and surgical specialties dentistry, maxillo...
