Geometric morphometrics (GM) has increasingly become an important tool in assessing and
studying shape variation in a wide variety of taxa. While the GM toolkit has unparalleled …

Geometric and traditional morphometric approaches are tested to describe and reveal
taxonomic characters and character states in variation of shape and size of idiosoma …

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics (3DGM) is a powerful tool for capturing and
visualizing the “pure” shape of complex structures. However, these shape differences are …

Improvements in three-dimensional imaging technologies have renewed interest in the
study of functional and ecological morphology. Quantitative approaches to shape analysis …

The pelvic girdle is a complex structure with a critical role in locomotion, but efforts to model
the mechanical effects of locomotion on its shape remain difficult. Traditional approaches to …

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is associated with
remodeling of the subchondral bone. This remodeling changes both the external …

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conducts and restrains masticatory movements between
the mammalian cranium and the mandible. Through this functional integration, TMJ …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to present and validate a novel semiautomated
method for 3-dimensional evaluation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) space and …

Aim Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)‐α is a pathological factor causing the characteristic
symptoms of periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we describe the …

Objectives Growth and developmental studies have been a prominent theme in
bioarchaeology. These works traditionally focus on metric measurements of long bone …
