Published online: 14/09/2023

Keywords: coelacanth; Computed Tomography; Cranial osteology; Latimeria

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.211

  Abstract

    We provide a 3D reconstruction of the skull of Latimeria chalumnae that can be easily accessed and visualized for a better understanding of its cranial anatomy. Different skeletal elements are saved as separate PLY files that can be combined to visualize the entire skull or isolated to virtually dissect the skull. We included some guidelines for a fast and easy visualization of the 3D skull.

3D models related to the publication: “Trophic differentiation between the endemic Cypriot mouse and the house mouse: a study coupling stable isotopes and morphometrics”
 
Sabrina Renaud Logo, Eleftherios . Hadjisterkotis Logo, George P. Mitsainas Logo and Emilie A. Hardouin Logo
Published online: 18/11/2024

Keywords: biomechanics; geometric morphometrics; Mandible morphology; Mus cypriacus; Mus musculus domesticus

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.247

  Abstract

    This contribution contains 3D models of mandibles of Cypriot mice (Mus cypriacus) and house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) from the island of Cyprus. The niche partitioning of the two species was investigated using isotopic ecology, geometric morphometrics and biomechanics. Both species displayed generalist feeding behavior, modulated by fine-tuned adaptation to their feeding habits. The house mouse mandible, with a relatively large masseter area and an optimization for incisor biting, appears as an all-rounder tool for foraging on diverse non-natural items.
    These models are analyzed in the following publication: Renaud et al 2024, “Trophic differentiation between the endemic Cypriot mouse and the house mouse: a study coupling stable isotopes and morphometrics”, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10914-024-09740-5

Keywords: fuctuating asymmetry; geometric morphometrics; intraspecific variation; Mus musculus domesticus; semicircular canals

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.220

  Abstract

    This contribution contains 3D models of left and right house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus) inner ears analyzed in Renaud et al. (2024). The studied mice belong to four groups: wild-trapped mice, wild-derived lab offspring, a typical laboratory strain (Swiss) and hybrids between wild-derived and Swiss mice. They have been analyzed to assess the impact of mobility reduction on inner ear morphology, including patterns of divergence, levels of inter-individual variance (disparity) and intra-individual variance (fluctuating asymmetry)

3D models related to the publication: Anatomical correlates and nomenclature of the chiropteran endocranial cast

Published online: 06/04/2023

Keywords: angiology; bats; brain; endocast; neuroanatomy

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.193

  Abstract

    The present 3D Dataset contains the 3D models of extant Chiropteran endocranial casts, documenting 16 of the 19 extant bat families. They are used by Maugoust & Orliac (2023) to assess the correspondences between the brain and brain-surrounding tissues (i.e., neural tissues, blood vessels, meninges) and their imprint on the braincase, allowing for eventually proposing a Chiroptera-scale nomenclature of the endocast.

Brain damage: the endocranial cast of Mixtotherium cuspidatum (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) from the Victor Brun Museum (Montauban, France)
Maëva J. Orliac Logo, Hugo Bouaziz and Romain Weppe Logo
Published online: 25/11/2021

Keywords: artiodactyl; Late Eocene; Quercy

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.158

  Abstract

    Our knowledge of the external brain morphology of the late Eocene artiodactyl ungulate Mixtotherium, relies on a plaster model realized on a specimen from the Victor Brun Museum in Montauban (France) and described by Dechaseaux (1973). Here, based on micro CT-scan data, we virtually reconstruct the 3D cast of the empty cavity of the partial cranium MA PHQ 716 from the Victor Brun Museum and compare it to the plaster model illustrated and described by Dechaseaux (1973). Indeed, the specimen from which the original plaster endocast originates was not identified by Dechaseaux by a specimen number. We confirm here that the studied specimen was indeed the one described and illustrated by Dechaseaux (1973). We also reconstruct a second, more detailed, model providing additional morphological and quantitative observations made available by micro CT scan investigation such as precisions on the neopallium folding and endocranial volumes.

Keywords: 3D reconstruction; Canidae; Lagoa Santa Karst; Pleistocene; Speothos

https://doi.org/10.18563/journal.m3.229

  Abstract

    Speothos pacivorus is an extinct South American canid (Canidae: Cerdocyonina) from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa Karst, Central Brazil. This taxon is one of the hypercarnivore canids that vanished from the continent at the end of Pleistocene. Although all remains of Speothos pacivorus were collected in the 19th century by the Danish naturalist Peter W. Lund, few studies have committed to an in-depth analysis of the taxon and the known specimens. Here, we analyzed all biological remains of S. pacivorus hosted in the Peter Lund/Quaternary Collection at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, by listing and illustrating all its specimens known to date. We also conducted a reconstruction of the holotype, an almost complete cranium, based on a µCT scan, producing an undeformed and crack-free three-dimensional model. With this data available we aim to foster new research on this elusive species.
