Farooq S, Leussink S, Sparrow L, Marchini M, Britz H, Manske S, et al.
Sci Rep . 2017 Sep; 7(1):10527. PMID: 28874773
Bone strength is influenced by mineral density and macro- and microstructure. Research into factors that contribute to bone morphology and strength has focused on genetic, environmental and morphological factors (e.g.,...

Sparrow L, Pellatt E, Yu S, Raichlen D, Pontzer H, Rolian C
PeerJ . 2017 Mar; 5:e3008. PMID: 28243533
In legged terrestrial locomotion, the duration of stance phase, i.e., when limbs are in contact with the substrate, is positively correlated with limb length, and negatively correlated with the metabolic...

Cosman M, Sparrow L, Rolian C
J Anat . 2016 Mar; 228(6):940-51. PMID: 27003624
Limb bone size and shape in terrestrial mammals scales predictably with body mass. Weight-bearing limb bones in these species have geometries that enable them to withstand deformations due to loading,...

Marchini M, Sparrow L, Cosman M, Dowhanik A, Krueger C, Hallgrimsson B, et al.
BMC Evol Biol . 2014 Dec; 14:258. PMID: 25496561
Background: Mammals show a predictable scaling relationship between limb bone size and body mass. This relationship has a genetic basis which likely evolved via natural selection, but it is unclear...
