The first two decades of the twenty-first century have seen a rapid rise in the mobilization of
digital biodiversity data. This has thrust natural history museums into the forefront of …

Penetrating planetary regolith is extremely important to explore the secrets inside
extraterrestrial celestial bodies. Applying the concept and method of bionics to endow …

Reconstructing the locomotion of extinct vertebrates offers insights into their palaeobiology
and helps to conceptualize major transitions in vertebrate evolution 1, 2, 3, 4. However …

The intersection of paleontology and biomechanics can be reciprocally illuminating, helping
to improve paleobiological knowledge of extinct species and furthering our understanding of …

Marker-based XROMM requires software tools for:(1) correcting fluoroscope distortion;(2)
calibrating X-ray cameras;(3) tracking radio-opaque markers; and (4) calculating rigid body …

The stem-group euarthropod Anomalocaris canadensis is one of the largest Cambrian
animals and is often considered the quintessential apex predator of its time. This radiodont …

The arch of the human foot is unique among hominins as it is compliant at ground contact
but sufficiently stiff to enable push-off. These behaviours are partly facilitated by the …

The now widespread use of non‐destructive X‐ray computed tomography (CT) and micro‐
CT (µCT) has greatly augmented our ability to comprehensively detail and quantify the …

Quantitative, three‐dimensional measurements of anatomy in biology and paleontology are
key to understanding the evolutionary processes underlying morphological, functional and …

Dynamic changes in jaw movements and bite forces depend on muscle architectural and
neural factors that have rarely been compared within the same muscle. Here we investigate …
