To evaluate alternative hypotheses for the role of mass and muscle-induced forces in joint
construction, the allometric scaling relationships of the articular facets of the talus were …

The articular facets of interosseous joints must transmit forces while maintaining relatively
low stresses. To prevent overloading, joints that transmit higher forces should therefore have …

Body mass estimation equations are generated from long bone cross‐sectional diaphyseal
and articular surface dimensions in 176 individuals and 12 species of hominoids and …

Surveying mammals of various body sizes, it can be observed that larger taxa reduce the
use of flexed-limb postures in favor of more extended-limb postures, effectively trading …

Allometric scaling relationships between body weight, bone length, and cross-sectional
dimensions of the lower limb bones which measure structural strength and rigidity (area …

The scaling of sixteen articular dimensions in the locomotor skeleton of hominoid primates is
examined with special reference to a recently proposed model of geometric similarity. Seven …

Objective: Multiple meaningful ecological characterizations of a species revolve around
body mass. Because body mass cannot be directly measured in extinct taxa, reliable body …

In comparative studies of masticatory function and mandibular biomechanics, the
mediolateral dimension of the postcanine corpus (corpus breadth) is commonly utilized as a …

Local variation in cortical bone thickness in the postcanine mandibular corpus appears to be
stereotypical among anthropoids. Specifically, at sections under the molars, lingually …

It is frequently assumed, either implicitly or explicitly, that the concentration, distribution, and
geometry of bone mass within the craniofacial region is largely or exclusively determined by …
