Functional correlates of the position of the axis of rotation of the mandible during chewing in non-human primates.
TLDR
The location of the axis of rotation of the mandible was quantified using the helical axis (HA) in eight individuals from three species of non-human primates to test three hypotheses regarding the functional significance of anteroposterior condylar translation - an AoR located inferior to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) - during chewing.About:

Dynamic Musculoskeletal Functional Morphology: Integrating diceCT and XROMM
TL;DR: The necessity of integrating morphological and physiological lines of evidence to understand muscle function and the new, high resolution imaging technologies that do so are discussed and a method that integrates high spatiotemporal resolution motion capture (XROMM), high resolution soft tissue imaging (diceCT), and electromyography to study musculoskeletal dynamics in vivo is presented.

Jaw-Muscle Fiber Architecture and Leverage in the Hard-Object Feeding Sooty Mangabey are not Structured to Facilitate Relatively Large Bite Forces Compared to Other Papionins.
Andrea B. Taylor,Claire E. Terhune,Maxx Toler,Megan Holmes,Callum F. Ross,Christopher J. Vinyard +5 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of fiber architecture and leverage of the masseter and temporalis muscles between sooty mangabeys and three papionin primates suggest males are likely prioritizing muscle stretch to improve gape performance as part of a behavioral repertoire that includes agonistic social interactions and intense male–male competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle Functional Morphology in Paleobiology: The Past, Present, and Future of “Paleomyology”
TL;DR: Which types of advances in muscle functional morphology are of use to paleobiologists are considered and the relationship between muscle and bone – spatially and mechanically—is critical to any future advances in “paleomyology”.

Integrating XMALab and DeepLabCut for high-throughput XROMM.
J. D. Laurence-Chasen,Armita R. Manafzadeh,Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos,Callum F. Ross,Fritzie I. Arce-McShane +4 more
TL;DR: A new workflow for marker-based XROMM that integrates XMALab and DeepLabCut to dramatically improve marker tracking throughput for large-scale studies that were previously precluded by software constraints is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bite force and cranial bone strain in four species of lizards
TL;DR: Cranial bone strain data from lizard crania reveal species-specific strain gradients that are not impacted by cranial kinesis or the presence/absence of postorbital and supratemporal bars, but by dietary effects.

Determining the movements of the skeleton using well-configured markers
Inge Söderkvist,Per-Åke Wedin +1 more
TL;DR: The problem of determining skeletal movements in three dimensions by using a number of landmarks by using the positions of the landmarks in least-squares sense is treated and a condition number is presented for the problem with good geometrical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variable gearing in pennate muscles.
TL;DR: Variable gearing in pennate muscles provides a mechanism to modulate muscle performance during mechanically diverse functions and is suggested to be an automatic transmission system allowing a pennate muscle to shift from a high gear during rapid contractions to low gear during forceful contractions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional heterogeneity in a multipinnate muscle
TL;DR: It was found that the activity in different portions of the masseter varied systematically during the various phases of mastication, and anatomical correlates of the differential activity included fasciculus orientation and length, sarcomere length in specific jaw positions, and histochemical fiber type.

Functional Anatomy of the Masticatory Apparatus in the Rabbit (Oryctolagus Cuniculus L.)
Wa Weijs,René Dantuma +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the unique cheek tooth structure allows lagomorphs to apply various combinations of crushing, shearing and grinding forces to their food and remain generalized and adapted to different niches.
