The flexibility and posture of the neck in sauropod dinosaurs has long been contentious.
Improved constraints on sauropod neck function will have major implications for what we …

THE NECK POSTURE IN sauropod dinosaurs is a crucial feature that affects their
biomechanics, physiology, ecology, and evolution. Yet neck posture and utilization in …

The long necks of sauropods have been subject to many studies regarding their posture and
flexibility. Length of the neck varies among groups. Here, we investigate neck posture and …

The necks of sauropod dinosaurs were a key factor in their evolution. The habitual posture
and range of motion of these necks has been controversial, and computer-aided studies …

Sauropods are often imagined to have held their heads high atop necks that ascended in a
sweeping curve that was formed either intrinsically because of the shape of their vertebrae …

Sauropod dinosaurs, the largest terrestrial vertebrates, have been of continuing interest to
paleobiologists because of their large size and long necks. A great deal of recent work has …

The gross morphology and the flexibility along the neck of the ostrich (Struthio camelus)
were examined using fresh tissue as well as neck skeletons. The results of the morphologic …

Attempts to reconstruct the neutral neck posture of sauropod dinosaurs, or indeed any
tetrapod, are doomed to failure when based only on the geometry of the bony cervical …

The histology of cervical ribs of Sauropoda reveals a primary bone tissue, which largely
consists of longitudinally oriented mineralized collagen fibres, essentially the same tissue as …

The necks of the sauropod dinosaurs reached 15 m in length: six times longer than that of
the world record giraffe and five times longer than those of all other terrestrial animals …
