Objectives Sex‐based occupational variability constitutes a fundamental component of
human behavior and a major focus of research focusing on biocultural evolution. However …

Identifying ecomorphological convergence examples is a central focus in evolutionary
biology. In xenarthrans, slow arboreality independently arose at least three times, in the two …

The primary function of the tetrapod jaw is to transmit jaw muscle forces to bite points. The
routes of force transfer in the jaw have never been studied but can be quantified using load …

Bone modeling involves the addition of bone material through osteoblast-mediated
deposition or the removal of bone material via osteoclast-mediated resorption in response to …

Background Running with the appropriate intensity may produce a positive influence on the
mechanical properties of cortical bone structure. However, few studies have discussed the …

Objectives Though relationships between limb bone structure and mechanical loading have
provided fantastic opportunities for understanding the lives of prehistoric adults, the lives of …

The axial and appendicular skeleton of Japanese macaques (Macacca fuscata) trained to
adopt bipedal posture and locomotion display a number of functionally related external and …

Objectives This study investigates patterns of bone functional adaptations in extant apes
through comparing hindlimb to forelimb bone rigidity ratios in groups with varying levels of …

Bone structure dynamically adapts to its mechanical environment throughout ontogeny by
altering the structure of trabecular bone, the three‐dimensional mesh‐like structure found …

The purpose of the study was to determine whether running is associated with greater bone
mineral density (BMD) by comparing the BMD of regularly active male runners (AR) with …
