Relaxed Feeding Constraints Facilitate the Evolution of Mouthbrooding in Neotropical Cichlids Open
Multifunctionality is often framed as a core constraint of evolution, yet many evolutionary transitions involve traits taking on additional functions. Mouthbrooding, a form of parental care where offspring develop inside a parent's mouth, …

Locomotor rib kinematics in two species of lizards and a new hypothesis for the evolution of aspiration breathing in amniotes Open
Most lizards walk and run with a sprawling gait in which the limbs are partly advanced by lateral undulation of the axial skeleton. Ribs and vertebrae are integral to this locomotor mode, but 3D motion of the axial skeleton has not been re…

Supplementary material from "Dual function of epaxial musculature for swimming and suction feeding in largemouth bass" Open
The axial musculature of many fishes generates the power for both swimming and suction feeding. In the case of the epaxial musculature, unilateral activation bends the body laterally for swimming, and bilateral activation bends the body do…

The Multi-Scale, Three-Dimensional Nature of Skeletal Muscle Contraction Open
Muscle contraction is a three-dimensional process, as anyone who has observed a bulging muscle knows. Recent studies suggest that the three-dimensional nature of muscle contraction influences its mechanical output. Shape changes and radial…

Advancing quantitative techniques to improve understanding of the skeletal structure-function relationship Open
Although all functional movement arises from the interplay between the neurological, skeletal, and muscular systems, it is the skeletal system that forms the basic framework for functional movement. Central to understanding human neuromusc…

Heterochrony in the evolution of Trinidadian guppy offspring size: maturation along a uniform ontogenetic trajectory Open
The size and maturity of Trinidadian guppy ( Poecilia reticulata ) offspring vary among populations adapted to environments of differential predation. Guppy offspring born to low-predation, high-competition environments are larger and more…

Data Management Rubric for Video Data in Organismal Biology Open
Standards-based data management facilitates data preservation, discoverability, and access for effective data reuse within research groups and across communities of researchers. Data sharing requires community consensus on standards for da…

Supplementary material from "Dual function of the pectoral girdle for feeding and locomotion in white-spotted bamboo sharks" Open
Positioned at the intersection of the head, body and forelimb, the pectoral girdle has the potential to function in both feeding and locomotor behaviours—although the latter has been studied far more. In ray-finned fishes, the pectoral gir…

The Lasting Effect of Sex Ratio Imbalance on Marriage and Family: Evidence from World War II in Russia Open
How does a shock to sex ratios affect marriage markets and fertility? I use the drastic change in sex ratios caused by World War II to identify the effects of unbalanced sex ratios on Russian women. Using unique data from the Soviet archiv…

Forelimb Kinematics of Rats Using XROMM, with Implications for Small Eutherians and Their Fossil Relatives Open
The earliest eutherian mammals were small-bodied locomotor generalists with a forelimb morphology that strongly resembles that of extant rats. Understanding the kinematics of the humerus, radius, and ulna of extant rats can inform and cons…
