😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Aeles et al. summarise and discuss evidence of meaningful differences in anatomy, neural control, biomechanical behaviour, and functional roles of human medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles. 👀 buff.ly/iXLmlxl

Next, there's another study with contributions by Luke that dives into the evolution of the mammalian medial pterygoid muscle: academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Edagawa et al. show that the smaller lower limbs mass in male endurance runners do not result in proportionally improved mechanical ease of leg swing. 👀https://buff.ly/871vXmK

Same-sex sexual behaviour in non-human primates is associated with ecological factors, life history and social structure, according to research published in @natecoevo.nature.com: spklr.io/633248d15a #Ecology #EcoSky 🌍

Ecological and social pressures drive same-sex sexual behaviour in non-human primates - Nature Ecology & EvolutionPhylogenetic regression and structural equation modelling of environmental, social and life history traits across the primate clade indicates correlates for same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB), and suggests that while environmental and life history traits tend to influence SSB indirectly, social complexity directly promotes its occurrence.spklr.io
