The impact of artificial selection on the masticatory apparatus dogs has been poorly studied, and comparative data with subjected to more natural constraints are lacking. This study explores jaw musculature Tunisian street dogs, which largely free from influence breed-specific selection. muscles (digastric, masseter, temporalis, pterygoid) 27 adult were dissected muscle mass physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) quantified, providing a baseline for comparisons between versus controlled...
Dogs are among the most variable species today, but little is known about morphological variability in early phases of their history. The Neolithic transition to farming may have resulted an diversification as a result changes anthropic environment or intentional selection on specific morphologies. Here, we describe and modularity mandible form by comparing 525 dog mandibles from European archaeological sites ranging 8100 3000 cal. BC reference sample modern dogs, wolves, dingoes. We use...
Previous studies based on two-dimensional methods have suggested that the great morphological variability of cranial shape in domestic dogs has impacted bite performance. Here, we used a three-dimensional biomechanical model dissection data to estimate force 47 various breeds at several points and gape angles. In vivo for three Belgian shepherd was validate our model. We then geometric morphometrics investigate drivers variation describe relationships between overall jaws force. The output...
The jaw system in canids is essential for defence and prey acquisition. However, how it varies wild species comparison with domestic remains poorly understood, yet of interest terms understanding the impact artificial selection. Here, we explored variability interrelationships between upper lower jaws, muscle architecture bite force red fox (Vulpes vulpes). We performed dissections used 3D geometric morphometric approaches to quantify shape 68 foxes. a static lever model estimates were...
