The shadow of the past: Convergence of young and old South American desert lizards as measured by head shape traits
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4548
Abstract: Abstract Convergence is a pervasive phenomenon in the Tree of Life, and evolution of similar phenotypes sharing the same environmental conditions is expected in phylogenetically closely related species. In contrast, contingent factors are probably more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20643
Abstract: The study of morphological variation among and within taxa can shed light on the evolution of phenotypic diversification. In the case of urodeles, the dorso‐ventral view of the head captures most of the ontogenetic and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11548-017-1614-5
Abstract: PurposeSpring-assisted cranioplasty is performed to correct the long and narrow head shape of children with sagittal synostosis. Such corrective surgery involves osteotomies and the placement of spring-like distractors, which gradually expand to widen the skull… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2019.104908
Abstract: BACKGROUND Head shape and head volume of preterm infants give important information on short- and long-term development. Three-dimensional (3D) assessment of a preterm infant's head would therefore provide more information than currently used two-dimensional methods.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.measurement.2019.107264
Abstract: Abstract This study aimed to establish a head anthropometric database for the Taiwanese population and to compare two clustering analysis results for separating head-shape clusters as well as generating sizing systems. Two-stage clustering and two-level… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-00680-1
Abstract: The development of head shape and volume may reflect neurodevelopmental outcome and therefore is of paramount importance in neonatal care. Here, we compare head morphology in 25 very preterm infants with a birth weight of… read more here.

Phenotypic divergence, convergence and evolution of Caucasian rock lizards (Darevskia)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biological Journal of The Linnean Society"
DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blaa021
Abstract: Phenotypic evolution can cause either divergent or convergent phenotypic patterns. Even adaptation to the same environment may result in divergence of some elements of phenotype, whereas for other morphological traits it could cause phenotypic convergence.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000006260
Abstract: : A question that remains unanswered is at what level of surgical correction does the public perceive a head shape to be "normal" or "acceptable?" For most cases of non-syndromic asymptomatic craniosynostosis, the parents desire… read more here.
