Long bone histology of Chersina angulata : Interelement variation and life history data
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Morphology"
DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21073
Abstract: The current study deduced the growth pattern and lifestyle habits of Chersina angulata based on bone histology and cross‐sectional geometry of limb bones. Femora, humeri, and tibiae of seven different‐sized individuals representing different ontogenetic stages… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/jpa.2023.22
Abstract: Despite the recognition that bone histology provides much information about the life history and biology of extinct animals, osteohistology of extinct marsupials is sorely lacking. We studied the bone histology of the ca. 15-million-year-old Nimbadon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02724634.2020.1768538
Abstract: ABSTRACT Bone histology has provided valuable information on the life history of dinosaurs, and the presence of growth lines provides useful information for age estimation, growth variation, and the reconstruction of paleobehavior. Here, we present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blaa013
Abstract: Given that the biology of the recently extinct aepyornithids is poorly understood, we undertook a histological study of 29 skeletal elements of adult and juvenile specimens of Aepyornithidae, i.e. Aepyornis maximus, Aepyornis hildebrandti and Vorombe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2018.0270
Abstract: Endothermy, production and retention of heat by the body, appeared convergently in mammals, birds and four spiny-rayed teleost fish lineages. Of these, red-muscle endothermy over most or all of the body has only appeared in… read more here.

Bone histology of Iberosuchus macrodon (Sebecosuchia, Crocodylomorpha)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Lethaia"
DOI: 10.1111/let.12203
Abstract: Iberosuchus macrodon is a Cenozoic crocodyliform interpreted as a terrestrial, cursorial form. To assess whether this adaptation was accompanied by a high growth rate and an elevated resting metabolic rate (two features commonly attributed to… read more here.

Digging the compromise: investigating the link between limb bone histology and fossoriality in the aardvark (Orycteropus afer)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5216
Abstract: Bone microstructure has long been known as a powerful tool to investigate lifestyle-related biomechanical constraints, and many studies have focused on identifying such constraints in the limb bones of aquatic or arboreal mammals in recent… read more here.
