Primate Phenotypes: A Multi-Institution Collection of 3D Morphological Data Housed in MorphoSource.
Journal Article Scientific data · December 2024 The field of phenomics is experiencing unprecedented advances thanks to the rapid growth of morphological quantification based on three-dimensional (3D) imaging, online data repositories, team-oriented collaborations, and open data-sharing policies. In lin ... Full text CiteBiomechanical and morphological determinants of maximal jumping performance in callitrichine monkeys.
Journal Article J Exp Biol · September 15, 2024 Jumping is a crucial behavior in fitness-critical activities including locomotion, resource acquisition, courtship displays and predator avoidance. In primates, paleontological evidence suggests selection for enhanced jumping ability during their early evo ...

Journal Article American journal of biological anthropology · September 2024 ObjectivesThis study tests whether (1) premolar topography of extant "prosimians" (strepsirrhines and tarsiers) successfully predicts diet and (2) whether the combination of molar and premolar topography yields higher classification accuracy than ...
