Analyzing the effects of body size on frog swimming
Spicer, Jack (2021-07)The scaling of traits with body size, along with the effects it has on performance and evolution, has long been studied in evolutionary biology and biomechanics. These effects can be observed in locomotion across many ... -
Identifying life history traits in modern and extinct archosaurs utilizing osteohistology
Heck, Christian T. (2022-05)Interpreting dinosaur life history traits is reliant upon data from modern taxa and large, ontogenetically variable dinosaur samples. Recent advances in the study of osteohistology have increased our understanding of ... -
Investigations of ecomorphological features under aridification: Cranial headgear and carotid-rete-mediated selective brain cooling
Slenker, Katherine (2022-07)Anthropogenic climate change presents one of the most pertinent risks to modern biodiversity. As the global climate becomes increasingly warmer and drier, it becomes equally as pertinent to understand how species respond ... -
Reanalysis of the anole dewlap at the osteological, histological, and myological levels
George, Jacob (2022-07)A grounded understanding of the functional morphology of anatomical structures is essential to interpreting the observed dynamics of an organism’s ecology. Anoles (Dactyloidae; Anolis) comprise a diverse grouping of small, ...
