Theoretical and Empirical Diversity of Anterior Jaw Functional Feeding Morphology
Hulsey, C.D.*; Wainwright, P.C.; Grubich, J.R.: Theoretical and Empirical Diversity of Anterior Jaw Functional Feeding Morphology Using both computer simulations and morphometrics of 81 species of labrid fishes, we explored morphospace occupation and functional consequences of design in the anterior jaws four bar linkage. This linkage model abstracts the mechanical properties of the feeding apparatus […]
The Carnivore Skull as a Clinker-Built Hull
LANDRY, S.O.: The Carnivore Skull as a Clinker-Built Hull. Ancient mediterranean ships’ hulls were “carvel built”, that is, the strakes (longitudinal planks of the hull) were fastened to each other edge-to-edge by mortise and tenon, whereas the Vikings and other sailors of the northern seas, used “clinker built” hulls, in which the strakes overlapped each […]
