The propatagial muscle of birds represents such an example, and there is no comparable muscle in the other tetrapod lineages. Here, we investigate the detailed developmental process of forelimb muscles in the embryos of the chicken and the outgroup taxa. Based on histological and 3D morphological observations in the chicken, the propatagial muscle developed from multiple cell masses derived from parts of the developing <i>musculus</i> (<i>m</i>.) <i>deltoideus scapularis</i>, <i>m. pectoralis</i>, <i>m. biceps brachii</i>, and <i>m. extensor carpi radialis</i>, in association with the hypertrophied dermis along the cranial edge of the developing propatagium. We also performed in situ hybridization of <i>Scx</i> and found that there were no tendon progenitor cells along the cranial edge of the propatagium during this process. It is likely that the avian propatagial muscle evolved through recruitment of muscle progenitor cells derived from parts of the <i>m. deltoideus scapularis</i>, <i>m. pectoralis</i>, <i>m. biceps brachii</i>, and <i>m. extensor carpi radialis</i>, devoid of new interactions with tendon progenitor cells.

Their size, robust musculature and specialised adaptations in the hands and feet, which are suited for terrestrial quadrupedal locomotion, make them interesting models for understanding how great apes are able to exploit complex arboreal habitats. We present a comprehensive analysis of the arboreal locomotor ecology of western lowland gorillas by studying their behaviour and ecology in the context of their morphology. A group of fully habituated wild western lowland gorillas was followed for 12 months in Loango National Park, Gabon. Statistical analysis applying regression modelling and Akaike's Information Criterion was used to identify the relationships between locomotor behaviours, height, contextual behaviour, support use, hand posture and body size. Our findings suggest that the gorillas were not restricted in their ability to access and move around in tree canopies because of their size or postcranial morphology. Instead, they exhibited considerable behavioural flexibility and engaged in locomotor behaviours that contradicted classic body size predictions for primates. To offset the risks of moving on small supports, the gorillas used hand-assisted bipedal locomotion on multiple small supports, rather than relying on suspensory locomotion. We suggest that this is linked to their hand dimensions, which have been selected to facilitate efficient quadrupedal walking on the ground. The silverback gorilla engaged in less horizontal locomotion in the canopy, spent less time at heights above 20 m, and used large supports more often than the adult females, blackback and adolescents, but the type and number of supports used did not vary between body size groups. We also found that the reproductive status of the females (presence or absence of small infants) may have shaped how they responded to risks when solving the problem of gap-crossing in the trees. Overall, our results highlight that the gorillas likely prioritised risk minimisation in the supports that they used in arboreal environments at the cost of increased energy expenditure.</p>","PeriodicalId":14971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anatomy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144010828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preservation of tendon function in amputation surgery and the development of the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI) have shown promising results restoring muscle-tendon proprioception and in improving prosthetic control. However, challenges remain in constructing AMI due to anatomical limitations in residual limbs. A total of 25 lower legs from fresh-frozen human Caucasian donors were dissected, and the muscles relevant to the AMI technique, such as the gastrocnemius complex, the tibialis posterior, the tibialis anterior, and the peroneus longus, were analyzed. Demographic and anthropometric measurements, muscle preparation and weight, markings, imaging, and statistical analysis methods were described in detail. In all muscles examined, the intramuscular course of the tendon extended over more than 75% of the distal muscle belly. The muscle belly length of the peroneus longus muscle and the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle showed a significant positive correlation with the weight and height of the donors. There were no significant correlations between the ratio of the intramuscular course of the tendon to muscle belly length and the weight or height of the donor. The AMI technique can enhance proprioceptive feedback for transtibial amputees wearing prostheses.

Herein, we examine the shell histology from trionychid turtles 2 million years before and 8 million years after the extinction event. We collected over 25,000 semi-quantitative and quantitative measurements and statistically compared them against latitude, stratigraphic position, lithologic context, ontogeny, phylogeny, and K/Pg survivorship to better understand the various ways in which each respective variable influences histology. We find that trionychids from mudstones and higher in section were larger and older. Traits hypothesized to be biomechanically relevant, like the plywood-like structure and suture margins, showed minimal change across the boundary, but shells in northern Danian deposits do appear to be selected for biomechanical resistivity. Turtles like <i>Helopanoplia</i> and <i>Gilmoremys</i> had well-vascularized external cortices with deep ornamentation pits devoid of Sharpey's fibers, which likely enclosed a dense vascular capillary bed. These turtles also have more intact primary cortical tissues and smaller medullary regions, meaning that they remodeled their shell infrequently compared with other turtles. Because the shell is used as a calcium storage reservoir to combat metabolic and respiratory blood acidosis, we suggest that the vascular capillary bed nestled among ornamentation may have aided in cutaneous respiration, which in turn lessened reliance on shell remodeling. <i>Helopanoplia</i> and <i>Gilmoremys</i> are among the few trionychids to go extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, suggesting that this adaptation was maladaptive during and after the extinction, though we lack the chronological resolution required to infer intermediate selective mechanisms.

On the other hand, an AOB has been confirmed in three species of the family Otariidae, although whether they also have a VNO has not been investigated. Therefore, we detailed the morphological and histological features of the VNO of the Steller sea lion (<i>Eumetopias jubatus</i>). The entire VNO extended vertically within the incisive foramen, and its lumen formed a short common duct with the incisive duct to open into the oral cavity. The incisive duct was narrow and passed through the lateral part of the VNO. The VNO was extensively covered with sensory epithelium and with non-sensory epithelium ventrolaterally. A dense arrangement of basal cells in the sensory epithelium implied that a rapid turnover of supporting cells repaired salt-induced damage. The VNO lacked large venous sinuses, suggesting that Steller sea lions pull substances into the VNO by a suction mechanism after closing a nostril. The glands beneath the sensory and non-sensory epithelia contained abundant mucoserous and mucous cells, respectively. Mucous glands in the incisive duct stained positive for Alcian blue (pH 1.0), indicating that these glands protect against seawater. These morphological and histological properties of the VNO of Steller sea lions significantly differ from those of other terrestrial carnivorous species.
