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 LACM Mammals - Chritopher Law sexual dimorphism in carnivores surface scanes & weasel loan for CT scanning Rensch’s rule suggests that sexual dimorphism increases as body size increases in species where males are larger than females. One hypothesis explaining this pattern is that through sexual selection male-male competition for food, mating partners, and territory increases with body size. Here, we examine whether mandibular sexual dimorphism follows Rensch’s rule in carnivorans. Although previous work found that few carnivoran families exhibit Rensch’s rule trends for their body size, whether a more consistent signal can be found in a trophic morphology such as the mandible has yet to be investigated. To test the hypothesis that carnivoran mandibles follow Rensch’s rule, we will 3D scan specimens from museum collections and perform geometric morphometrics to quantify shape and size differences between male and female mandibles.

Display all details of Rollot et al. 2022. Trinitichelys hiatti cranial 3D models This project contains the cranial CT data and derivative 3D models for the specimen MCZ VPRA-4070, Trinitichelys hiatti, which were uploaded as supplements for the paper "Cranial osteology, taxonomic reassessment, and phylogenetic relationships of the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-Albian) turtle Trinitichelys hiatti (Paracryptodira)" by Yann Rollot, Serjoscha Evers, Stephanie Pierce, and Walter Joyce, which was published in PeerJ (DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14138). 28 1

Display all details of CT-stacks of the neurocranium of the Late Devonian chondrichthyan Maghriboselache Maghriboselache mohamezanei is a newly described chondrichthyan from the Famennian (Late Devonian) of the eastern Anti-Atlas. In two specimens, the neurocrania are three-dimensionally preserved and revealed a lot of anatomical detail. This new taxon falls in a basal position of the stem of the total group Holocephali and thus is of great importance to understand the early evolution of the chondrichthyan crown group.

Display all details of Hyperoblastus reimanni, brooding blastoid Brooding of young is a reproductive strategy observed in many extant echinoderms, but the evolutionary history of this behaviour is largely unknown due to the scarcity of examples preserved in the fossil record. Synchrotron X-ray tomography is used to describe an exceptionally preserved specimen of the Devonian blastoid echinoderm Hyperoblastus reimanni. The coelomic cavity appears completely preserved in a coiled arrangement partially enclosing organs associated with the digestive, haemal and axial systems. The vault region of the coelom surrounds four structures interpreted as three internally brooded larvae and a gonad. The presence of putative larvae brooded internally in this specimen sheds new light on the reproductive strategies employed by blastoids, suggesting they were sexually dimorphic and that internal brooding was acquired early in the group’s history. The acquisition of brooding may have been linked to high clastic sediment influx associated with the Appalachian Orogeny, which would have been detrimental to the survival of larvae living at the soupy sediment–-water interface.
