Materials and methods This study included 300 human adult skulls, which were obtained from the Forensic Osteology Research Center, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University. The metopic suture and supraorbital ridge were observed macroscopically. The degree of supraorbital ridge was classifi ed into 4 levels. The 1st level had a massive prominence, the 2nd showed fair prominence, the 3rd indic...

In family Lemuridae, anatomical variations exist. Considering its conservation status (near threatened) and presence of similarities between strepsirrhines and primitive animals, it was thought to be beneficial to describe the gross osteology and radiographic anatomy of the pelvis and hind limb of ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) as a reference for clinical use and species identification. Radio...

Identification of remains of missing servicemen lost overseas is a very difficult task. Identification based on osteology supplemented by identification based on DNA analysis optimizes the chances of positively identifying a soldier. For this thesis project, I examined how both osteology and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be employed in identifications. To learn more about the way that DNA can b...

Apostolepis is a diverse genus of dipsadid snakes, currently comprising 34 species occurring in most cis-Andean South America. The taxonomy the group highly unstable. Upon discovering its type series, we redescribe rare A. ambiniger (Peters, 1869) and provide an account geographic distribution morphological variation pholidosis, osteology, hemipenial characters. We also discuss some aspects .
