Variation in parrot jaw musculature
1 INTRODUCTION Psittaciformes, the order that encompasses parrots, macaws, cockatoos, parakeets (simplified hereafter as “parrots”), is among the most diverse extant birds containing approximately 400 species worldwide (Handbook of the Birds of the World [HBW] and BirdLife International, 2022) grouped into four main families: Strigopoidae, Cacatuidae, Psittacidae, and Psittaculidae (Gill et al., 2024).

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis
1 INTRODUCTION The craniodental anatomy of Smilodon fatalis is among the most derived of any carnivoran, and although sabertooths have evolved independently many times (as is demonstrated by the diverse convergent taxa in many of the other papers in this volume), there is still a lack of consensus regarding how this anatomy functioned in saber-toothed species (e.g., Akersten, 1985; Emerson & Radinsky, 1980; McHenry et al., 2007) and whether it functioned similarly across all of these lineages...
The Effects of Onychectomy (Declawing) on Antebrachial Myology across the Full Body Size Range of Exotic Species of Felidae
Abstract : Simple Summary While people are familiar with the practice of declawing domestic cats, it is also performed on non-domesticated species, such as lions and tigers, to extend the period of safe human interaction for entertainment purposes. Although declawing (removing not only the claw itself, but also the bone from which it grows, whether in part or in whole) clearly affects the skeletal system, the impact on the musculature has not been studied.
