Despite growth in other areas of biological anthropology, osteology, or skeletal biology,
remains a dominant subfield in the discipline (50). Although the reasons for this are partly …

" Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory is a formal theory for the uptake and use of
substrates (food, nutrients and light) by organisms and their use for maintenance, growth …

Data are presented on adult body mass for 230 of 249 primate species, based on a review of
the literature and previously unpublished data. The issues involved in collecting data on …

The Dynamic Energy Budget theory unifies the commonalties between organisms, as
prescribed by the implications of energetics, and links different levels of biological …

Temporal trends in postcranial robusticity within the genus Homo are explored by comparing
cross‐sectional diaphyseal and articular properties of the femur, and to a more limited …

The relationship between locomotor behavior and long bone structural proportions is
examined in 179 individuals and 13 species of hominoids and cercopithecoids. Articular …

How reliable are reconstructions of body mass and joint function based on articular surface
areas? While the dynamic relationship between mechanical loading and cross‐sectional …

Previous attempts to estimate body mass in pre-Holocene hominins have relied on
prediction equations derived from relatively limited extant samples. Here we derive new …

While there is broad agreement that early hominins practiced some form of terrestrial
bipedality, there is also evidence that arboreal behavior remained a part of the locomotor …

The body masses of the three large saber‐toothed machairodontines, Smilodon gracilis, S.
fatalis, and S. populator, were estimated on the basis of 36 osteological variables from the …
