The role of cross-sectional geometry, curvature and limb posture in maintaining equal safety factors: A computed tomography study
The limb bones of an elephant are considered to experience similar peak locomotory stresses as a shrew. "Safety factors" are maintained across the entire range of body masses through a combination of robusticity of long bones, postural variation, and modification of gait. The relative contributions of these variables remain uncertain....Brassey, Charlotte A ; Kitchener, Andrew C ; Withers, P J ; Manning, Phillip L ; Sellers, William I

Species identification of archaeological marine mammals using collagen fingerprinting
Throughout human history, coastal and marine resources have been a vital part of human subsistence. As a result archaeological faunal assemblages from coastal sites often contain large quantities of skeletal remains indicative of human interaction with marine mammals. However, these are often hard to identify due to a unique combination...Buckley, M ; Fraser, S ; Herman, Jeremy S ; Melton, N D ; Mulville, J …

Palerasnitsynus gen. n. (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae) from Burmese amber
Palerasnitsynus ohlhoffi gen. et sp. n. is described from Burmese amber of late Albian (Lower Cretaceous) age. This is the first record of the family Psychomyiidae from Burmese amber, and the earliest fossil record of the family. The genus Palerasnitsynus gen. n. differs from all other known psychomyiid genera by...Wichard, Wilfried ; Ross, Emma ; Ross, Andrew
