Abstract: The relationship of carpal morphology to ecology and habitat is under studied in carnivorans and more generally in mammals. Here, we use 3D‐scanning techniques to assess the usefulness of a carpal bone, the scapholunar, in… read more here.

Abstract: Biomechanical models and simulations of musculoskeletal function rely on accurate muscle parameters, such as muscle masses and lines of action, to estimate force production potential and moment arms. These parameters are often obtained through destructive… read more here.
