Publications
Masticatory biomechanics and masseter fiber-type plasticityM J Ravosa
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, MO 65212, USA
J Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact 10:46-55. 2010....
Allometry and evolution in the galago skullMatthew J Ravosa
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, MO, USA
Folia Primatol (Basel) 81:177-96. 2010..Due to the lack of increased robusticity of load-resisting mandibular elements in Otolemur and Euoticus, there is little evidence to suggest that exudativory in galagos results in correspondingly higher masticatory stresses...
Allometry of masticatory loading parameters in mammalsMatthew J Ravosa
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, One Hospital Drive, Columbia, MO 65212, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 293:557-71. 2010..In addition to informing interpretations of craniomandibular growth, form, function, and allometry, these comparisons provide a skeleton-wide perspective on the patterning of osteogenic stimuli across body sizes...
Cranial ontogeny, diet, and ecogeographic variation in African lorisesMatthew J Ravosa
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, Missouri 65212

Ontogeny and phyletic size change in living and fossil lemursMatthew J Ravosa
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Medical Sciences Building, One Hospital Drive DC055 07, Columbia, MO 65212, USA
Am J Primatol 72:161-72. 2010..Although such dissociations highlight selection to uncouple shared ancestral growth patterns, they occur largely via transpositions and retention of primitive size-shape covariation patterns or relative growth coefficients...
Masticatory loading, function, and plasticity: a microanatomical analysis of mammalian circumorbital soft-tissue structuresEldin Jasarević
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, One Hospital Drive, Columbia, MO 65212, USA

Phenotypic plasticity and function of the hard palate in growing rabbitsRachel A Menegaz
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, One Hospital Drive, Columbia, MO 65212, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 292:277-84. 2009..Furthermore, these findings have potential implications for the evolution of the mammalian secondary hard palate as well as for clinical considerations of human oral pathologies...
Evidence for the influence of diet on cranial form and robusticityRachel A Menegaz
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, One Hospital Drive, Columbia, MO 65212, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 293:630-41. 2010..These findings also suggest that long-term variation in masticatory forces associated with differences in dietary properties can contribute to the complex and multifactorial development of neurocranial morphology...
Mammalian limb loading and chondral modeling during ontogenyAshley S Hammond
Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri School of Medicine, One Hospital Drive, Columbia, MO 65212, USA
Anat Rec (Hoboken) 293:658-70. 2010..Given the disparity between the predictions of chondral modeling theory and our experimental findings, this suggests a need for further evaluation of chondral modeling responses during ontogeny...
Modulation of mandibular loading and bite force in mammals during masticationCallum F Ross
Organismal Biology and Anatomy, University of Chicago, 1027 E 57th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, USA
J Exp Biol 210:1046-63. 2007..Rate modulation rather than time modulation may allow rhythmic mastication to proceed at a relatively constant frequency, simplifying motor control computation...
Dietary consistency and plasticity of masseter fiber architecture in postweaning rabbitsAndrea B Taylor
Doctor of Physical Therapy Division, Department of Community and Family Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC 27710, USA
Anat Rec A Discov Mol Cell Evol Biol 288:1105-11. 2006..The change in PCSA but not fiber length suggests that variation in dietary consistency has an impact on maximum force production but not necessarily on excursion or contraction velocity...
Biomineralization and adaptive plasticity of the temporomandibular joint in myostatin knockout miceElisabeth K Nicholson
Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611 3008, USA
Arch Oral Biol 51:37-49. 2006....
