Introduction The aim was to evaluate three regions of reference (Björk, Modified Björk and
mandibular Body) for mandibular registration testing them in a patients' CBCT sample …

Introduction The aims of this study were to evaluate how head orientation interferes with the
amounts of directional change in 3-dimensional (3D) space and to propose a method to …

Objectives This study describes and demonstrates the functionalities and application of a
new R package, morphomap, designed to extract shape information as semilandmarks in …

Because the ulna supports and transmits forces during movement, its morphology can signal
aspects of functional adaptation. To test whether, like extant apes, some hominins habitually …

Long bone shafts (diaphyses) serve as load‐bearing structures during locomotion, implying
a close relationship between diaphyseal form and its locomotor function. Diaphyseal form …

Sex determination is vital when attempting to establish identity from skeletal remains. Two
approaches to sex determination exists: morphological and metrical. The aim of this paper …

Despite the general increase in digital techniques for dental morphometric analyses, only a
few methods are available to study worn teeth. Moreover, permanent dentitions are studied …

Most long limb bones in terrestrial mammals exhibit a longitudinal curvature and have been
found to be loaded in bending. Bone curvature poses a paradox in terms of the mechanical …

Since their discovery, Neanderthals have been described as having a marked degree of
anteroposterior curvature of the femoral shaft. Although initially believed to be pathological …

The challenging complexity of biological structures has led to the development of several
methods for quantitative analyses of form. Bones are shaped by the interaction of historical …
