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 Ocular lens morphology is influenced by ecology and metamorphosis in frogs and toads The shape and relative size of an ocular lens affects the focal length of the eye, with consequences for visual acuity and sensitivity. Lenses are typically spherical in aquatic animals with camera-type eyes and axially flattened in terrestrial species to facilitate vision in optical media with different refractive indices. Frogs and toads (Amphibia: Anura) are ecologically diverse, with many species shifting from aquatic to terrestrial ecologies during metamorphosis. We quantified lens shape and relative size using 177 microCT scans of 122 biphasic anuran species and tested for correlations with life stage, adult environment and habits, and adult activity period. Across broad phylogenetic diversity, tadpole lenses are more spherical than those of adults. Biphasic species with aquatic larvae and terrestrial adults typically undergo ontogenetic changes in lens shape, whereas species that remain aquatic as adults tend to retain more spherical lenses after metamorphosis. Further, adult lens shape is influenced by adult habit; notably, fossorial adults tend to retain spherical lenses following metamorphosis. Finally, lens size relative to eye size is smaller in aquatic and semiaquatic species than other adult ecologies. Our study demonstrates how ecology shapes visual systems, and the power of non-invasive imaging of museum specimens for studying sensory evolution. 42 42

Display all details of The Book of Fortresses Project The Book of Fortresses is a digital art and architectural history project that seeks to better understand a collection of perspective drawings and plans of castles and castle-towns on Portugal's border with Spain that were drawn by a Portuguese squire named Duarte de Armas in 1509-1510 CE. The data added to this repository includes high resolution photographs of the extant castles and towns taken from vantage points that are estimated to be as similar as possible to those used by Duaarte de Armas when he created his perspective drawings. The 3D data includes georeferenced point clouds and 3D meshes of a subset of the 55 border castles that Duarte de Armas rendered in the Book of Fortressses that were captured via drone photogrammetry during visits to the sites in 2018, 2019, and 2022.

Display all details of Normal and pathological covariation in the masticatory apparatus of anthropoid primates This research examines how the anatomical components of the masticatory system (teeth, jaws, and related joints) work together and how these components are affected by aging and pathological changes. Specifically, we examine how the different anatomical components are correlated with each other across the entire masticatory system, in the context of changes that may occur during the lifetime of an individual, such as normal and pathological dental wear, and normal and abnormal (e.g., arthritis) changes in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) shape. We employ 3D models coupled with pathological data for a wide cross-section of 19 anthropoid primates, including humans. Though samples vary depending on specimen condition, ideally this dataset includes a 3D model of the cranium, mandible, and the teeth for each specimen (n>1000 individuals). Scan data provided are cleaned models (processed following standard protocols in Geomagic Studio); raw data (i.e., uncleaned original scans) will be provided upon request to Claire Terhune or Siobhan Cooke. Please be aware that some regions of the cranium (i.e., orbits, zygomatic arches, pterygoid fossa) may be more heavily reconstructed than others because of anatomical challenges related to scanning these areas. Data from this project have been employed in the following publications: Mitchell, D.R., Kirchhoff, C.A., Cooke, S.B., Terhune, C.E. 2021.
