Functional morphology of the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) mandible: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis (2015)
Journal Article
van Heteren, A. H., MacLarnon, A., Soligo, C., & Rae, T. C. (2016). Functional morphology of the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) mandible: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis. Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 16(1), 299-314. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13127-015-0238-2

The diet of the fossil cave bears (Ursus spelaeus group) has been debated extensively. Thought traditionally to be herbivorous, more recent studies have proposed more meat in the cave bear diet. To test this, the mandibular morphology of cave bears w... Read More about Functional morphology of the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) mandible: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis.

Journal Article
MacLarnon, A., Sommer, V., Goffe, A., Higham, J., Lodge, E., Tkaczynski, P., & Ross, C. (2015). Assessing adaptability and reactive scope: Introducing a new measure and illustrating its use through a case study of environmental stress in forest-living baboons.

In order to maintain regulatory processes, animals are expected to be adapted to the range of environmental stressors usually encountered in their environmental niche. The available capacity of their stress responses is termed their reactive scope, w...
