Too Much Terror: A Gigantic Terror Bird (Cariamiformes: Phorusrhacidae) from the Middle Miocene of La Venta, Colombia Open
Phorusrhacids correspond to a group of birds considered to be apex predators, which are a common element of the American fossil Cenozoic avifauna, especially in Argentina, where it is not unusual to find at least two species of terror bird…

Under the hood: vulvar anatomy and pathology with a focus on MRI Open
Vulvar anatomy and pathology can be a challenging subject to master, especially given the paucity of resources available on the subject. This review provides an overview of normal anatomy and imaging appearance of the vulva, including the …

New Miocene litoptern remains from Colombia and ecological structure of American Neogene herbivore guilds Open
The new litoptern fossils provide previously unknown information on these species' morphology, but they do not resolve outstanding systematic and phylogenetic questions. Discrepancies in ecomorphological diversity between pre-GABI North an…

Variation in Craniodental Pathologies Among Cercopithecoid Primates Open
Pathologies of the skull and teeth are well documented for many human populations, but there are fewer studies of other primates. We contrast lesion prevalence and patterning among cercopithecoid primates and map variation onto socioecolog…

Accessory infraspinatus muscle in a male cadaver: a case report Open
Purpose The infraspinatus muscle is a component of the rotator cuff that has relatively few known variants. Understanding variation in this structure is critical for clinicians and may have implications for understanding human development.…

Cooking Up Authenticity: Latina Celebrities, Cookbooks, and Consumerism Open
This thesis examines contradictory stereotypes navigated by Latina celebrities within dominant representations of Latina identity. On one hand, Latinas are represented as traditional and family-oriented and on the other hand are understood…

New insights on the anatomy and ontogeny of the largest extinct freshwater turtles Open
There are many questions regarding the largest freshwater turtle that ever existed, including how its morphology changed during its ontogeny and how a single ecosystem was able to support more than one group of giant turtles. Here, we repo…

New species of the ground sloth Parocnus from the late Pleistocene-early Holocene of Hispaniola Open
Parocnus dominicanus sp. nov. represents a new species of megalonychid ground sloth from theAltagracia Province of southeastern Dominican Republic. Specimens of multiple individuals, including oneassociated partial skeleton, were recovered…

Bolstering geometric morphometrics sample sizes with damaged and pathologic specimens: Is near enough good enough? Open
Obtaining coordinate data for geometric morphometric studies often involves the sampling of dry skeletal specimens from museum collections. But many specimens exhibit damage and/or pathologic conditions. Such specimens can be considered in…

Global-scale episodes of transoceanic biological dispersal during the Cenozoic Open
Since formalization of plate tectonic theory in the 1960s, vicariance has been the dominant model for interpretation in biogeography. However, modern research suggests transoceanic ‘rafting’ is also an important process in biological dispe…

A novel method for quantifying femoral neck anteversion: A case study in extinct and extant sloths Open
Extinct sloths represent a wide range of morphological, locomotor, and body size variation. Researchers have examined femoral neck angle in two dimensions to hypothesize locomotor behaviors in this group; however, this measure does not acc…

Evaluating causes of error in landmark-based data collection using scanners Open
In this study, we assess the precision, accuracy, and repeatability of craniodental landmarks (Types I, II, and III, plus curves of semilandmarks) on a single macaque cranium digitally reconstructed with three different surface scanners an…

The extinction of Xenothrix mcgregori, Jamaica’s last monkey Open
The Jamaican primate, Xenothrix mcgregori, regarded variously as either a pitheciid or a stem platyrrhine, was the terminal branch of a clade that likely entered the West Indies at least as early as the Early Miocene, although its lineage …
