Journal of Anatomy

👋Hi new followers! 👋

At @JournalofAnat, we seek to advance the understanding of all aspects of human and comparative anatomy through the analysis of structure, function, development, and evolution.

Rhinoceros forelimb bones are internally structured to cope with the stresses of supporting their enormous body weight, while still allowing galloping. This work can help infer how extinct animals moved and supported their weight. Now in @JournalofAnat

Attending the @anat_soc winter meeting? Prof. James Sleigh (Co-EiC, @JournalofAnat) is hosting a workshop entitled "How to Publish in the Journal of Anatomy". He will cover what he looks for, and how to improve your chances of acceptance. Submit an abstract and sign up today!

This month @JournalofAnat brings you even more vertebrate evolution, morphology and function, including Triassic climate variability and the anatomy of Jurassic fish to human development, comparative anatomy and muscle function - all available here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14697580/2…

Human femur study shows that thicker cortices produce less porous secondary osteons—independent of age, sex, or lifestyle—but this pattern doesn’t hold in females. Allometry matters for interpreting bone remodelling.
