Yapuncich G, Feng H, Dunn R, Seiffert E, Boyer D
Sci Rep . 2019 Aug; 9(1):12341. PMID: 31451739
Adaptive scenarios of crown primate origins remain contentious due to uncertain order of acquisition and functional significance of the clade's diagnostic traits. A feature of the talus bone in the...

Boyer D, Yapuncich G, Dunham N, McNamara A, Shapiro L, Hieronymus T, et al.
J Hum Evol . 2019 Jul; 133:23-31. PMID: 31358182
Given that most species of primates are predominantly arboreal, maintaining the ability to move among branches of varying sizes has presumably been a common selective force in primate evolution. However,...

Harrington A, Kuzawa C, Boyer D
Am J Phys Anthropol . 2019 Mar; 169(1):161-169. PMID: 30821356
Objectives: In humans, neuronal processes related to brain development elevate the metabolic rate of brain tissue relative to the body during early childhood. This phenomenon has been hypothesized to contribute...

Morse P, Chester S, Boyer D, Smith T, Smith R, Gigase P, et al.
J Hum Evol . 2018 Dec; 128:103-131. PMID: 30497682
Omomyiform primates are among the most basal fossil haplorhines, with the oldest classified in the genus Teilhardina and known contemporaneously from Asia, Europe, and North America during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal...

Lyu I, Perdomo J, Yapuncich G, Paniagua B, Boyer D, Styner M
Proc SPIE Int Soc Opt Eng . 2018 Nov; 10574. PMID: 30381780
We present a group-wise shape correspondence method for analyzing variable and complex objects in a population study. The proposed method begins with the standard spherical harmonics (SPHARM) point distribution models...

Gunnell G, Boyer D, Friscia A, Heritage S, Manthi F, Miller E, et al.
Nat Commun . 2018 Aug; 9(1):3193. PMID: 30131571
In 1967 G.G. Simpson described three partial mandibles from early Miocene deposits in Kenya that he interpreted as belonging to a new strepsirrhine primate, Propotto. This interpretation was quickly challenged,...

Boyer D, Maiolino S, Holroyd P, Morse P, Bloch J
J Hum Evol . 2018 Jun; 122:1-22. PMID: 29935935
Euprimates are unusual among mammals in having fingers and toes with flat nails. While it seems clear that the ancestral stock from which euprimates evolved had claw-bearing digits, the available...

Boyer D, Harrington A
J Hum Evol . 2018 Feb; 114:85-101. PMID: 29447763
Supplying the central nervous system with oxygen and glucose for metabolic activities is a critical function for all animals at physiologic, anatomical, and behavioral levels. A relatively proximate challenge to...

Gao T, Yapuncich G, Daubechies I, Mukherjee S, Boyer D
Anat Rec (Hoboken) . 2017 Oct; 301(4):636-658. PMID: 29024541
Automated geometric morphometric methods are promising tools for shape analysis in comparative biology, improving researchers' abilities to quantify variation extensively (by permitting more specimens to be analyzed) and intensively (by...
