Media are grouped by projects created by users. Projects tend to contain media tied together by a theme. A project might represent the dataset for a single peer-reviewed paper, the results of a collections digitization project, or data for a digital lesson plan.
Projects can be used to share media ownership and access between project members, and projects can also be used to publish assortments of media and specimens for access and discovery by the public. If you want to share media ownership and access with multiple users across multiple projects, consider creating a user team. Projects can be managed by teams, and users with access to that team also gain access to any projects managed by that team.

| Display all details of Comparative endocast morphology of the Night Parrot and its relatives | This study is creating a number of endocasts to assess whether the unusual nocturnal, ground-dwelling behaviour of the recently re-discovered night parrot is visible in its brain endocast and cranial nerve morphology | Weisbecker Lab | 70 | 24 | |

| Display all details of A Lizard-Like Reptile with Unusual Mandibular Neurovasculature from the Upper Triassic of Virginia | Here, we report a new small-bodied reptile taxon, Idiosaura virginiensis gen. et sp. nov., from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) Vinita Formation of the Richmond basin (Newark Supergroup) in east-central Virginia, U.S.A. The material consists of a fragmentary dentary bearing numerous tall cylindrical teeth implanted in a pleurodont fashion into spongy alveolar tissue. Micro-CT scan data reveals an unusual and complex network of interconnected neurovascular canals within the dentary with connections to the alveolar tissue and pulp cavities of the teeth. The external anatomy of the dentary is consistent with that of Triassic kuehneosaurid reptiles, suggesting affinities to that group; the results of a phylogenetic analysis were inconclusive but do not exclude kuehneosaurid relationships. The new taxon adds to the relatively diverse assemblage of small-bodied tetrapods known from the Tomahawk microvertebrate bonebed (USNM locality 39981), and suggests that the rise of lepidosauromorph ecomorphorphologies specializing for feeding on invertebrates occurred in Triassic communities alongside non-lepidosauromorph taxa with similar mandibulo-dental features, as in kuehneosaurs. | Ben T.

| Display all details of Cercocebus - mangabey | This project includes photos and videos of mangabeys in the genus Cercocebus taken by various people from throughout the Cercocebus geographic range. Photos and videos of Cercocebus mangabeys highlight morphological and behavioral diversity and characteristics. | Joshua Linder | 120 | 80 | |
| Display all details of Ozboneviz | Ozboneviz is a collaboration between multiple Australian institutions to create an open-access, metadata-rich 3D reference collection of Australian & New Guinean vertebrate skeletal remains. Ozboneviz is funded by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH). Our collaborating institutions include: Flinders University; The University of Queensland; Australian National University; South Australian Museum; Australian National Wildlife Collection; Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory; Australian Museum; Michigan State University Museum; Gunma Museum of National History; and oVert. Please cite all specimens as: Data were provided by the Ozboneviz collection on MorphoSource.org (Project ID:000394988), funded by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CE170100015). | Samper-Carro, Sofia | 1637 | 277 | |

| Display all details of Soleus Muscle Variation within an Individual | Forty (n=40) soleus muscles, representing both left and right sides from twenty (n=20) formalin-embalmed cadavers (average age 78 years old; 10 males, 10 females) were dissected in-situ to analyze the distribution and orientation of the MTJs and MFJs within classified morphological variants. Anterior surfaces of morphological variants were visualized and reconstructed in three dimensions using a handheld blue light 3D scanner. Soleus muscles selected for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction were scanned with an Artec Space Spider and edited in Artec Studio 15 Professional. The muscle was suspended by the calcaneal tendon using a hook nail and placed on a hanging apparatus where it could freely spin during scanning. Each muscle was scanned four times: the entire muscle including anterior and posterior was scanned twice, and the anterior and posterior aspects alone were scanned once. The four separate scans were added to one project in Artec Studio 15 Professional to create a single textured mesh by following the processing guide produced by the manufacture15. Five morphological variations in the ABP of the soleus were found. These included: (1) Bipennate-Midline (n=25), (2) Bipennate-Medial Deviation (n=6), (3) Bipennate-Lateral Deviation (n=3), (4) Unipennate (n=3), and (5) Hypopennate (n=3) [Figure 1]. No ABP classified as multipennate were found.11 cadavers showed bilaterally consistent ABP classifications (55%), while the remaining nine displayed differing ABP morphologies between the left and right soleus muscles (45%). Examples of differing soleus muscles between individuals are displayed in this project. | Theobalt, Keanna G | 2 | 2 |
