Journal ArticleDOI
The shape of contention: adaptation, history, and contingency in ungulate mandibles.
Pasquale Raia,Pasquale Raia,Francesco Carotenuto,Carlo Meloro,Paolo Piras,Paolo Piras,Diana Pushkina,Diana Pushkina +7 more
TL;DR: A strong phylogenetic effect was obtained in perissodactyls, suggesting that their mandible shape should be strongly inherited, and Digestive strategy is deemed to interplay with hypsodonty to produce different paths of adaptation to particular diets in ungulates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The shape of the mandibular corpus in large fissiped carnivores: allometry, function and phylogeny
TL;DR: Large fissiped carnivores show extensive functional convergence in mandibular corpus shape although the evolutionary routes leading to such functional convergence are different.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Gavialis--Tomistoma debate: the contribution of skull ontogenetic allometry and growth trajectories to the study of crocodylian relationships
Paolo Piras,Paolo Piras,Paolo Colangelo,Dean C. Adams,Angela D. Buscalioni,Jorge Cubo,Tassos Kotsakis,Tassos Kotsakis,Carlo Meloro,Pasquale Raia,Pasquale Raia +10 more
TL;DR: Findings concur with a morphological hypothesis that places Gavialis separate from Brevirostres, and Tomistoma closer to other crocodylids, and provides an additional, and independent, data set to inform on this ongoing phylogenetic discussion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plio-pleistocene fossil vertebrates of monte tuttavista (orosei, eastern sardinia, italy), an overview
L. Abbazzi,Chiara Angelone,Marisa Arca,G. Barisone,C. Bedetti,Massimo Delfino,Tassos Kotsakis,F. Marcolini,Maria Rita Palombo,Marco Pavia,Paolo Piras,Lorenzo Rook,D. Torre,Caterinella Tuveri,Andrea M.F. Valli,Barbara Wilkens +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the analisys of fossil vertebrate remains from 19 fissure fillings in the karst network at Monte Tuttavista (Orosei, NMoro) are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tsaftaris,Matthias Wilms,Alistair A. Young,Xingyu Zhang,Pau Medrano-Gracia +35 more
TL;DR: A challenge to test shape characterization in MI given a set of three-dimensional left ventricular surface points to establish a common dataset and test whether statistical shape modeling provides additional information characterizing MI patients over standard clinical measures.
