Anatomical and ontogenetic influences on muscle density

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 11(1).

By: K. Leonard n, N. Worden n, M. Boettcher*, E. Dickinson n, K. Omstead*, A. Burrows *, A. Hartstone-Rose n 

MeSH headings : Age Factors; Aging / physiology; Animals; Biomechanical Phenomena / physiology; Female; Forelimb; Head; Hindlimb; Male; Models, Biological; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal / cytology; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal / physiology; Muscle, Skeletal / anatomy & histology; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology; Rabbits; Torso
TL;DR: Overall, it is observed that older individuals tend to have denser muscles than younger individuals, and significant differences in muscle density between anatomic regions within the older cohorts, though none in the youngest cohort. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effects of freezing and short-term fixation on muscle mass, volume, and density

Leonard, K. C., Worden, N., Boettcher, M. L., Dickinson, E., & Hartstone-Rose, A. (2021, May 6). ANATOMICAL RECORD-ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE ANATOMY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, Vol. 5.

By: K. Leonard n, N. Worden n, M. Boettcher*, E. Dickinson n & A. Hartstone-Rose n 

author keywords: correction; ethanol; formalin; preparation
MeSH headings : Animals; Ethanol; Formaldehyde; Freezing; Muscles; Rabbits; Tissue Fixation
TL;DR: Although freezing may have less of an effect on the gross morphometric characteristics of the musculature than ethanol storage, slow freezing damages muscle microanatomy, and therefore, faster freezing and other modes of preservation such as formalin fixation and ethanol storage may be preferable.

Effects of long-term ethanol storage on muscle architecture

ANATOMICAL RECORD-ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE ANATOMY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, 305(1), 184–198.

By: K. Leonard n, N. Worden n, M. Boettcher*, E. Dickinson n & A. Hartstone-Rose n 

author keywords: correction; density; mass; PCSA; volume
MeSH headings : Animals; Ethanol; Mice; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal; Muscle, Skeletal / diagnostic imaging
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that muscle mass, volume, and density of specimens stored long‐term in ethanol should be corrected by factors of 2.64, 2.49, and 1.054 respectively for comparability to fresh specimens. (via Semantic Scholar)

Masticatory muscle architectural correlates of dietary diversity in Canidae, Ursidae, and across the order Carnivora

Hartstone-Rose, A., Dickinson, E., Deutsch, A. R., Worden, N., & Hirschkorn, G. A. (2021, September 12). ANATOMICAL RECORD-ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE ANATOMY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, Vol. 9.

By: A. Hartstone-Rose n , E. Dickinson n, A. Deutsch n, N. Worden n & G. Hirschkorn n

author keywords: allometry; bite force; PCSA; scaling
MeSH headings : Animals; Canidae; Carnivora; Diet; Felidae; Humans; Masticatory Muscles; Ursidae
TL;DR: Novel architectural data is presented on two additional carnivoran families—Ursidae and Canidae—and supplement these previous studies with additional felid, musteloid, herpestid, hyaenid, and viverrid taxa to reflect the increased morphological and dietary diversity of musteloids relative to other carnivoran groups.

Myological variation in the forearm anatomy of Callitrichidae and Lemuridae

Dickinson, E., Boettcher, M. L., Smith, M. R., Worden, N. A., Swindell, S. R., Seelye, J. S., … Hartstone-Rose, A. (2021, May 20). JOURNAL OF ANATOMY, Vol. 5.

author keywords: dexterity; fascicle length; muscle; PCSA; primate
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Callitrichinae / anatomy & histology; Forearm / anatomy & histology; Lemuridae / anatomy & histology; Locomotion / physiology; Muscle, Skeletal / anatomy & histology
TL;DR: This study presents a focused evaluation of the variation in muscle organization, integration, and architecture within two speciose primate families: the Callitrichidae and Lemuridae and demonstrates that, within each lineage, several muscle functional groups exhibit substantial variation in Muscle organization.

Intraspecific and intrafamilial variation in primate forearm muscle architecture

Hartstone-Rose, A., Boettcher, M., Seelye, J., Worden, N., & Dickinson, E. (2020, April). FASEB JOURNAL, Vol. 34.

By: A. Hartstone-Rose n , M. Boettcher*, J. Seelye n, N. Worden n & E. Dickinson n

TL;DR: Assessing both qualitative (presence/absence of specific muscles) and quantitative (physiological cross‐sectional area, fascicle length and muscle mass) differences in forearm muscle architecture of larger intraspecific and samples with greater coverage of specific primate families than had been included in previous work found that there is great variation in both the extent of separation and fusion of flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus in most species of callitrichids and Saimiri.
