Traditional measurement techniques in cadaveric dissection fail to account for the changes in soft tissue length during joint movement. We have developed a new, simple method to obtain more accurate ....

We report that femoral cortical thickness was strongly and negatively associated with secondary osteon porosity in an Australian autopsy sample, indicating that thicker cortices contained less porous...

The <em>Journal of Anatomy</em> aims to advance understanding of all aspects of human and comparative anatomy through the analysis of structure, function, development, and evolution.

Dental evolution is a major topic in vertebrate palaeontology and provides key insights into the evolutionary history of several amniote clades. This study investigates rhynchosaur ankylothecodonty w...

Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, diver...

Tooth attachment in vertebrates ranges from ligament-based anchorage in mammals to direct fusion in many reptiles. In the veiled chameleon, we identified a transient cell population—termed ankyloblas...
