Journal ArticleDOI
Tongues, tentacles and trunks: the biomechanics of movement in muscular‐hydrostats
TL;DR: The means by which muscular-hydrostats produce elongation, shortening, bending and torsion are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterochrony revisited: the evolution of developmental sequences
TL;DR: An alternative approach is discussed, termed sequence heterochrony, in which a developmental trajectory is conceptualized as a series of discrete events in which the sequence position of an event changes relative to other events in that sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ancient single origin for Malagasy primates
TL;DR: It is concluded that primate origins were marked by rapid speciation and diversification sometime before the late Paleocene, and called for a revision of primate classifications in which the dwarf and mouse lemurs are placed within the Afro-Asian lorisiforms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative patterns of craniofacial development in eutherian and metatherian mammals
TL;DR: It is concluded that the developmental differences between marsupial and placental mammals are best explained by the interaction of several processes including neurogenesis as a potential rate‐limiting step, the developmental requirements of somatic elements, and the extremely short period of organogenesis of mars upial mammals.
