Back to the bones: do muscle area assessment techniques predict functional evolution across a macroevolutionary radiation? (2021)
Journal Article
Bates, K. T., Wang, L., Dempsey, M., Broyde, S., Fagan, M. J., & Cox, P. G. (2021). Back to the bones: do muscle area assessment techniques predict functional evolution across a macroevolutionary radiation?. Interface, 18(180), Article 20210324. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2021.0324

Measures of attachment or accommodation area on the skeleton are a popular means of rapidly generating estimates of muscle proportions and functional performance for use in large-scale macroevolutionary studies. Herein, we provide the first evaluatio... Read More about Back to the bones: do muscle area assessment techniques predict functional evolution across a macroevolutionary radiation?.

Morphological variation of the hemophilic talus (2021)
Journal Article
Talbott, H. G., Wilkins, R. A., Redmond, A. C., Brockett, C. L., & Mengoni, M. (2021). Morphological variation of the hemophilic talus. Clinical Anatomy, 34(6), 941-947. https://doi.org/10.1002/ca.23757

Flattening of the trochlear tali is clinically observed as structural and functional changes advance in patients with hemarthropathy of the ankle. However, the degree of this flattening has not yet been quantified, and distribution of the morphologic... Read More about Morphological variation of the hemophilic talus.

Further analysis of our finite element (FE) models, as part of ongoing work, has revealed a systematic error running through all 30 models in our original analysis. In all 30 FE models, the force magnitudes applied to represent maximum isometric cont... Read More about Correction to: Evolutionary biomechanics: Hard tissues and soft evidence? (Proc. R. Soc.

Journal Article
Broyde, S., Dempsey, M., Wang, L., Cox, P. G., Fagan, M., & Bates, K. T. (2021). Evolutionary biomechanics: hard tissues and soft evidence?. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 288(1945), Article 20202809. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2020.2809

Biomechanical modelling is a powerful tool for quantifying the evolution of functional performance in extinct animals to understand key anatomical innovations and selective pressures driving major evolutionary radiations. However, the fossil record i... Read More about Evolutionary biomechanics: hard tissues and soft evidence?.
