A morphometric characterization of cranial shape in terrestrial carnivorans based on fourier analysis
Perez-Claros, Juan Antonio
; Martin-Serra, Alberto; Figueirido-Castillo, Francisco Borja; Janis, Christine Marie; Palmquist-Gomes, Paul (2013-11-08)
A number of studies have shown that skull morphology reflects the ecological adaptations of terrestrial carnivores as well as their phylogenetic legacy. Here we use Fourier shape analysis for describing the dorsal outline ... -
Functional anatomy, Ecomorphology and evolution of the carnivoran appendicular skeleton
Martin-Serra, Alberto (Servicio de Publicaciones y Divulgación Científica, 2014)
En esta tesis doctoral he utilizado métodos de morfometría comparada para analizar la asociación entre las adaptaciones funcionales del esqueleto apendicular y su evolución morfológica. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal ... -
Integración morfológica entre las extremidades delantera y trasera en carnívoros con dientes de sable: ¿existe alguna evidencia de evolución desacoplada?
The powerfully built forelimb of saber-tooth carnivorans has been traditionally interpreted as part of their prey-killing arsenal, as it is thought to be an adaption to immobilizing their prey before performing a quick and ... -
Investigating the land‑to‑sea transition in carnivorans from the evolution of sacrum morphology in pinnipeds
Esteban, Juan Miguel; Martin-Serra, Alberto; Pérez-Ramos, Alejandro; Rybczynski, Natalia; Pastor, Francisco J.; Figueirido-Castillo, Francisco Borja[et al.] (Springer, 2023)
The form and function of the sacrum are of great relevance to understand the evolution of locomotion in tetrapods because it is a key piece of the vertebrate skeleton. The sacrum connects the caudal and presacral regions ... -
Modular evolution of the carnivoran pelvic girdle: a three-dimensional morphometric approach
Martin-Serra, Alberto; Figueirido-Castillo, Francisco Borja; Serrano-Lozano, Francisco; Palmquist-Barrena, Carlos Paul (2015-10-28)
The pelvic girdle is a key skeletal structure within the appendicular skeleton in quadrupedal mammals. The pelvis anchors many important muscles and connects the hind limb to the axial skeleton. However, unlike other ... -
Sobre el uso de los mínimos cuadrados parciales de dos bloques para el estudio de los patrones integración entre el neurocráneo y el esplacnocráneo en homínidos actuales y homínidos extintos
Perez-Claros, Juan Antonio; Jiménez-Arenas, J.; Palmquist-Gomes, Paul; Martin-Serra, Alberto (2014-11-10)
Many biological structures that interact in development and/or function tend to evolve in a concertedly fashion and thus become integrated forming modules. The two most prominent modules of the mammalian cranium are the ... -
The influence of skull shape modularity on internal skull structures: a 3D-Pilot study using bears
Pérez-Ramos, Alejandro; Martin-Serra, Alberto; Perez-Claros, Juan Antonio; Schubert, Blaine W; Pastor, Juan F.; Figueirido-Castillo, Francisco Borja[et al.] (2015-10-22)
In order to capture the phenotypic variation of the internal skull structures, such as the sinuses or the brain, it is necessary to perform CT scans in a large number of specimens, which is difficult and expensive. ...
