Skeleton and Skeletal Muscles
The avian skeleton and skeletal muscles have been modified by natural selection over millions of years to meet the demands of flight. Some birds have...

The molecular genetics of human appendicular skeleton
Disorders that result from de-arrangement of growth, development and/or differentiation of the appendages (limbs and digit) are collectively called...

Functional reorganisation of the cranial skeleton during the cynodont–mammaliaform transition
Skeletal simplification occurred in multiple vertebrate clades over the last 500 million years, including the evolution from premammalian cynodonts...

Hunting for ecological indicators: are large herbivore skeleton measures from harvest data useful proxies for monitoring?
Hunter-collected data and samples are used as indices of population performance, and monitoring programs often take advantage of such data as...

Distinguishing Four Calliphoridae Species (Diptera) from Jamaica Using the Cephalopharyngeal Skeleton: Application to Forensic Investigations
Flies of the family Calliphoridae, commonly called blow flies, are important in the decomposition process. Knowledge on their succession pattern on...

Cartilage diversification and modularity drove the evolution of the ancestral vertebrate head skeleton
The vertebrate head skeleton has evolved a myriad of forms since their divergence from invertebrate chordates. The connection between novel gene...

The Bacterial Microbiome of the Coral Skeleton Algal Symbiont Ostreobium Shows Preferential Associations and Signatures of Phylosymbiosis
Ostreobium , the major algal symbiont of the coral skeleton, remains understudied despite extensive research on the coral holobiont. The enclosed...

Microborings in Jurassic scleractinians: a glimpse into the ancient coral skeleton microbiome
Boring microorganisms (microendoliths) are ubiquitous in living corals, constituting the skeleton microbiome important for coral health and reef...

Anatomical and morphometric studies on the axial skeleton of ostrich (Struthio camelus)
The present study showed a descriptive anatomical study of the parts of the axial skeleton in the ostrich (Struthio camelus) in addition to a...

Decoupling the skull and skeleton in a Cretaceous bird with unique appendicular morphologies
The Cretaceous is a critical time interval that encompasses explosive diversifications of terrestrial vertebrates, particularly the period when the...

Morphological and morphometric studies on the axial skeleton of the sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii gratus)
BackgroundAnatomical features of the skeleton of wild animals contribute largely to their adaptation. A dearth of information on the skeletal anatomy...

New insights into the evolution of portunoid swimming crabs (Portunoidea, Heterotremata, Brachyura) and the brachyuran axial skeleton
Portunoidea (Heterotremata) is a morphologically disparate taxon of true crabs (Brachyura) best-known for many of its representatives being...

Basic Limitations of Self-Organization by the Example of High- and Low-Integrated Very Complex Systems (Mammalian Skeleton Elements and Mammalian Fossil Assemblages): From Empirical Evidence to Theory
AbstractHigh variety is a characteristic attribute of any material phenomena and processes involving living matter, i.e., very complex systems...

Axial Skeleton in Aquatic Animals
Even the most primitive among the “vertebrates” have in common the axial structure: the whole body is arranged around a flexible rod, characterised...

Skeleton and Musculature of the Male Genitalia in Psilidae (Diptera) and Their Implications for the Phylogeny
AbstractWe have previously studied the musculature of the male genitalia in one species of Psilidae— Chyliza vittata Meigen, 1826. Here, we describe...

Axial Skeleton and Muscle Arrangement in Terrestrial Tetrapods
The external physical conditions for land-living animals diverge fundamentally from those with which water-living forms have to cope: gravity acts...

A radial distribution of calices in coral skeleton of Pocillopora verrucosa (Ellis and Solander, 1786) against ocean currents
The correlation between the internal calice arrangement and compressive behavior of the skeleton of coral Pocillopora verrucosa has been...

Metagenomic shifts in mucus, tissue and skeleton of the coral Balanophyllia europaea living along a natural CO2 gradient
Using the Mediterranean coral Balanophyllia europaea naturally growing along a pH gradient close to Panarea island (Italy) as a model, we explored...
