Cancellous bone and theropod dinosaur locomotion. Part III—Inferring posture and locomotor biomechanics in extinct theropods, and its evolution on the line to birds (2018)
Journal Article
Bishop, P. J., Hocknull, S. A., Clemente, C. J., Hutchinson, J. R., Farke, A. A., Beck, B. R., Barrett, R. S., & Lloyd, D. G. (2018). Cancellous bone and theropod dinosaur locomotion. Part III—Inferring posture and locomotor biomechanics in extinct theropods, and its evolution on the line to birds. PeerJ, 6, e5777. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.5777

This paper is the last of a three-part series that investigates the architecture of cancellous bone in the main hindlimb bones of theropod dinosaurs, and uses cancellous bone architectural patterns to infer locomotor biomechanics in extinct non-avian...

Like a hole in the head: Development, evolutionary implications and diseases of the cranial foramina (2018)
Journal Article
McGonnell, I. M., & Akbareian, S. E. (2018). Like a hole in the head: Development, evolutionary implications and diseases of the cranial foramina. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.semcdb.2018.08.011

Cranial foramina are holes in the skull through which nerves and blood vessels pass to reach both deep and superficial tissues. They are often overlooked in the literature; however they are complex structures that form within the developing cranial b...

Evolution of hindlimb muscle anatomy across the tetrapod water-to-land transition, including comparisons with forelimb anatomy (2018)
Journal Article
Molnar, J. L., Diogo, R., Hutchinson, J. R., & Pierce, S. E. (2018). Evolution of hindlimb muscle anatomy across the tetrapod water-to-land transition, including comparisons with forelimb anatomy. https://doi.org/10.1002/ar.23997

Tetrapod limbs are a key innovation implicated in the evolutionary success of the clade. Although musculoskeletal evolution of the pectoral appendage across the fins‐to‐limbs transition is fairly well documented, that of the pelvic appendage is much...

Remarkable muscles, remarkable locomotion in desert-dwelling wildebeest (2018)
Journal Article
Curtin, N. A., Bartlam-Brooks, H. L. A., Hubel, T. Y., Lowe, J. C., Gardner-Medwin, A. R., Bennitt, M., Amos, S. J., Lorenc, M., West, T. G., & Wilson, A. M. (2018). Remarkable muscles, remarkable locomotion in desert-dwelling wildebeest. Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0602-4

Large mammals that live in arid and/or desert environments can cope with seasonal and local variations in rainfall, food and climate1 by moving long distances, often without reliable water or food en route. The capacity of an animal for this long-dis... Read More about Remarkable muscles, remarkable locomotion in desert-dwelling wildebeest.

Building a Bird: Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation of Wing-Assisted Incline Running during Avian Ontogeny (2018)
Journal Article
Heers, A. M., Rankin, J. W., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2018). Building a Bird: Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation of Wing-Assisted Incline Running during Avian Ontogeny. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 6(140), https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2018.00140

Flapping flight is the most power-demanding mode of locomotion, associated with a suite of anatomical specializations in extant adult birds. In contrast, many developing birds use their forelimbs to negotiate environments long before acquiring “fligh...

Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases, 5(4), 407-414. https://doi.org/10.3233/JND-180324

A new line of dystrophic mdx mice on the DBA/2J (D2) background has emerged as a candidate to study the efficacy of therapeutic approaches for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). These mice harbor genetic polymorphisms that appear to increase the seve...
