    • Control of Jaw Movements in Two Species of Macropodines (Macropus eugenii and Macropus rufus) 

      Crompton, Alfred W.; Barnet, J.; Lieberman, Daniel Eric; Owerkowicz, T.; Skinner, J.; Baudinette, R. V. (Elsevier, 2007)
      The masticatory motor patterns of three tammar wallabies and two red kangaroos were determined by analyzing the pattern of electromyographic (EMG) activity of the jaw adductors and correlating it with lower jaw movements, ...

    • Evolution of the mammalian fauces region and the origin of suckling 

      Crompton, Alfred; Musinsky, Catherine; Bonaparte, Jose; Bhullar, Bhart-Anjan; Owerkowicz, Tomasz (2018)
      Therian suckling requires the presence of two oral seals: an anterior one formed by the tongue partially surrounding the teat and pressing it against the palate, thereby closing the gap between the exterior and oral cavity; ...

    • Masticatory Motor Patterns in Six Herbivorous Australian Marsupials 

      Crompton, Alfred; Lieberman, Daniel; Owerkovicz, Tomasz; Skinner, John (John Wiley & Sons, 2007)
      Electomyograms of the adductor muscles of the hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons), red kangaroo (Macropus rufus), Tammar wallaby (M. eugenii), koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), potoroo (Potorous tridactylus) and the ...

    • Muscle Logic: New Knowledge Resource for Anatomy Enables Comprehensive Searches of the Literature on the Feeding Muscles of Mammals 

      Druzinsky, Robert E.; Balhoff, James P.; Crompton, Alfred W.; Done, James; German, Rebecca Z.; Haendel, Melissa A.; Herrel, Anthony; Herring, Susan W.; Lapp, Hilmar; Mabee, Paula M.; Muller, Hans-Michael; Mungall, Christopher J.; Sternberg, Paul W.; Van Auken, Kimberly; Vinyard, Christopher J.; Williams, Susan H.; Wall, Christine E. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Background: In recent years large bibliographic databases have made much of the published literature of biology available for searches. However, the capabilities of the search engines integrated into these databases for ...

    • Rolling of the jaw is essential for mammalian chewing and tribosphenic molar function 

      Bhullar, Bhart-Anjan S.; Manafzadeh, Armita R.; Miyamae, Juri A.; Hoffman, Eva A.; Brainerd, Elizabeth L.; Musinsky, Catherine; Crompton, Alfred (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-02)
      Over the past two centuries, mammalian chewing and related anatomical features have been among the most discussed of all vertebrate evolutionary innovations. Chief among these features are two characters: the dentary-only ...

    • Structure of the nasal region of non-mammalian cynodonts and mammaliaforms: Speculations on the evolution of mammalian endothermy 

      Crompton, Alfred; Owerkowicz, T.; Bhullar, B.-A. S.; Musinsky, Catherine (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-02)
      Nasal regions of the non-mammalian cynodonts Massetognathus, Probainognathus, and Elliotherium were reconstructed from micro-computed tomography scans and compared with scans and published accounts of more derived forms, ...
