Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators? 比较Barbourofelis fricki和Smilodon fatalis的头骨生物力学:剑齿食肉动物中是否存在一种通用的杀戮咬合方式?
Borja Figueirido, Shane Tucker, Stephan Lautenschlager
Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐scanned the skull of Barbourofelis fricki and compared its cranial mechanics using finite element analysis (FEA) with that of Smilodon fatalis. Our aim was to investigate potential variations in killing behavior between two dirk‐toothed sabretooths from the Miocene and Pleistocene of North America. The study revealed that B. fricki had a stoutly‐built skull capable of withstanding stress in various prey‐killing scenarios, while the skull of S. fatalis appeared less optimized for supporting stress, which highlights the highly derived saber‐tooth morphology of the former. The results may indicate that B. fricki was more of a generalist in prey‐killing compared to S. fatalis, which experiences lower stresses under stabbing loads. We hypothesize that morphological specialization in saber‐tooths does not necessarily indicate ecological specialization. Our results support the notion that morphological convergence among saber‐toothed cats may obscure differences in hunting strategies employed to dispatch their prey. Our findings challenge the assumption of the universally assumed canine‐shear biting as the prey‐killing behavior of all saber‐toothed cats. However, further research involving a wider range of dirk and scimitar‐toothed forms could provide additional insights into the diversity of cranial biomechanics within this fascinating group of extinct mammalian predators.
剑齿虎是一种已经灭绝的顶级掠食者,其上部犬齿长而锋利,在脊椎动物的进化史上至少出现过五次。虽然剑齿虎的形态相对多样,但人们普遍认为它们都使用相同的捕食行为杀死猎物。在这项研究中,我们对 Barbourofelis fricki 的头骨进行了 CT 扫描,并利用有限元分析(FEA)将其头骨力学与 Smilodon fatalis 的头骨力学进行了比较。我们的目的是研究北美中新世和更新世的两种钝齿剑齿虎在杀戮行为上的潜在差异。研究发现,B. fricki具有坚固的头骨,能够在各种猎杀情况下承受压力,而S. fatalis的头骨似乎不太适合承受压力,这凸显了前者高度衍生的剑齿形态。这些结果可能表明,在猎杀猎物时,B. fricki比S. fatalis更像一个通才,后者在刺杀负荷下承受的应力较低。我们假设剑齿虎的形态特化并不一定代表生态特化。我们的研究结果支持这样一种观点,即剑齿虎在形态上的趋同可能会掩盖它们在捕杀猎物时所采用的狩猎策略上的差异。我们的研究结果对普遍认为所有剑齿虎的猎杀行为都是犬齿撕咬的假设提出了质疑。然而,通过对更多的剑齿虎和弯刀齿虎的进一步研究,我们可以更深入地了解这个已灭绝的哺乳动物食肉动物群体中头颅生物力学的多样性。

Postcranial anomalies of Eocene freshwater pleurodiran and cryptodiran turtles from the Spanish Duero Basin 西班牙杜罗河盆地始新世淡水褶纹龟和隐纹龟的颅后反常现象
Andrea Guerrero, Francisco Ortega, Santiago Martín de Jesús, Adán Pérez‐García
Testudines are one of the best‐represented taxonomic groups among the Paleogene taxa of the Duero Basin (Castile and Leon Autonomous Community, central Spain). Among them, Neochelys (Podocnemidide) and Allaeochelys (Carettochelyidae) are most abundant, allowing the population to be assessed for osteological anomalies. The abundance of postcranial remains of both taxa allows us to identify several individuals with potential anomalies, mostly in their shells. Some of them have already been described in previous studies, but most of them are still unpublished. The objective of this study is to analyze in detail the anomalous Neochelys and Allaeochelys remains. As a result, different categories of causal agents (such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, or trauma) have been identified as potential producers of the anomalies in these freshwater turtles. Information regarding the pathogenesis and healing stages of some of these anomalies is provided.
在杜罗河盆地(西班牙中部卡斯蒂利亚和莱昂自治区)的古近纪类群中,蝾螈类是代表度最高的类群之一。其中,Neochelys(Podocnemidide)和Allaeochelys(Carettochelyidae)的数量最多,因此可以对其种群进行骨学异常评估。这两个类群丰富的颅后遗骸使我们能够确定几个有潜在异常的个体,主要是在它们的壳上。其中一些已经在以前的研究中有所描述,但大部分仍未发表。本研究的目的是详细分析异常的 Neochelys 和 Allaeochelys 遗骸。因此,不同类别的致病因子(如细菌、真菌、寄生虫或外伤)已被确定为这些淡水龟异常的潜在制造者。本报告还提供了有关其中一些异常现象的发病机制和愈合阶段的信息。

Craniofacial anomalies in schizophrenia‐relevant GFAP.HMOX10‐12m mice 精神分裂症相关 GFAP.HMOX10-12m 小鼠的颅面畸形
Ayda Tavitian, Joseph Somech, Badrouyk Chamlian, Adrienne Liberman, Carmela Galindez, Hyman M. Schipper
Subtle craniofacial dysmorphology has been reported in schizophrenia patients. This dysmorphology includes midline facial elongation, frontonasal anomalies and a sexually dimorphic deviation from normal directional asymmetry of the face, with male patients showing reduced and female patients showing enhanced facial asymmetry relative to healthy control subjects. GFAP.HMOX10‐12m transgenic mice (Mus musculus) that overexpress heme oxygenase‐1 in astrocytes recapitulate many schizophrenia‐relevant neurochemical, neuropathological and behavioral features. As morphogenesis of the brain, skull and face are highly interrelated, we hypothesized that GFAP.HMOX10‐12m mice may exhibit craniofacial anomalies similar to those reported in persons with schizophrenia. We examined craniofacial anatomy in male GFAP.HMOX10‐12m mice and wild‐type control mice at the early adulthood age of 6–8 months. We used computer vision techniques for the extraction and analysis of mouse head shape parameters from systematically acquired 2D digital images, and confirmed our results with landmark‐based geometric morphometrics. We performed skull bone morphometry using digital calipers to take linear distance measurements between known landmarks. Relative to controls, adult male GFAP.HMOX10‐12m mice manifested craniofacial dysmorphology including elongation of the nasal bones, alteration of head shape anisotropy and reduction of directional asymmetry in facial shape features. These findings demonstrate that GFAP.HMOX10‐12m mice exhibit craniofacial anomalies resembling those described in schizophrenia patients, implicating heme oxygenase‐1 in their development. As a preclinical mouse model, GFAP.HMOX10‐12m mice provide a novel opportunity for the study of the etiopathogenesis of craniofacial and other anomalies in schizophrenia and related disorders.
据报道,精神分裂症患者的颅面部有细微的畸形。这种畸形包括面部中线拉长、前额畸形和面部正常方向不对称性的性双态偏差,与健康对照组相比,男性患者面部不对称性减少,女性患者面部不对称性增加。在星形胶质细胞中过度表达血红素加氧酶-1的GFAP.HMOX10-12m转基因小鼠(Mus musculus)再现了许多精神分裂症相关的神经化学、神经病理学和行为特征。由于大脑、头骨和面部的形态发生高度相关,我们假设 GFAP.HMOX10-12m 小鼠可能会表现出与精神分裂症患者类似的颅面异常。我们研究了雄性 GFAP.HMOX10-12m 小鼠和野生型对照小鼠成年早期(6-8 个月)的颅面部解剖结构。我们使用计算机视觉技术从系统获取的二维数字图像中提取和分析了小鼠的头形参数,并用基于地标的几何形态计量学证实了我们的结果。我们使用数字卡尺测量了已知地标之间的线性距离,从而进行了头骨形态测量。与对照组相比,成年雄性 GFAP.HMOX10-12m 小鼠表现出颅面畸形,包括鼻骨变长、头型各向异性改变以及面部形状特征的方向不对称性降低。这些研究结果表明,GFAP.HMOX10-12m 小鼠表现出的颅面畸形与精神分裂症患者的颅面畸形相似,这与血红素加氧酶-1 的发育有关。作为一种临床前小鼠模型,GFAP.HMOX10-12m 小鼠为研究精神分裂症和相关疾病的颅面和其他异常的发病机制提供了一个新的机会。

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning 通过 CT 和同步辐射扫描揭示早期突眼动物神经感觉的多样性
J. Benoit, R. Araujo, E. S. Lund, A. Bolton, T. Lafferty, Z. Macungo, V. Fernandez
Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe into the wide range of unexpected NMS paleoneurological diversity. First, we describe adaptations to low‐frequency hearing and low‐light conditions in the non‐mammalian cynodont Cistecynodon parvus, supporting adaptations to an obligatory fossorial lifestyle. Second, we describe the uniquely complex and three‐dimensional maxillary canal morphology of the biarmosuchian Pachydectes elsi, which suggests that it may have used its cranial bosses for display or low‐energy combat. Finally, we introduce a paleopathology found in the skull of Moschognathus whaitsi. Since the specimen was not fully grown, this condition suggests the possibility that this species might have engaged in playful fighting as juveniles—a behavior that is both social and structured. Additionally, this paper discusses other evidence that could indicate that tapinocephalid dinocephalians were social animals, living and interacting closely with one another. Altogether, these examples evidence the wide range of diversity of neurological structures and complex behavior in NMS.
非哺乳动物形态的合趾目(NMS)是今天哺乳动物在早期羊膜动物中的近亲。探索它们的大脑和神经系统是了解哺乳动物进化过程的关键。在这里,我们利用 CT 和同步加速器扫描,首次记录了神经感觉和行为适应性的三个极端案例,探究了意想不到的 NMS 古神经系统多样性的广泛范围。首先,我们描述了非哺乳动物犬齿龙(Cistecynodon parvus)对低频听觉和弱光条件的适应,这支持了对强制性化石生活方式的适应。其次,我们描述了生物剑齿虎 Pachydectes elsi 独特的复杂和三维的上颌管形态,这表明它可能利用其头盖骨进行展示或低能量战斗。最后,我们介绍了在Moschognathus whaitsi头骨中发现的一种古病理学。由于该标本尚未完全长成,这种情况表明该物种可能在幼年时期进行过嬉戏打斗--这种行为既是社会性的,也是结构性的。此外,本文还讨论了其他一些证据,这些证据可能表明龙脑类恐龙是社会性动物,它们彼此生活在一起并密切互动。总之,这些例子证明了 NMS 神经结构和复杂行为的广泛多样性。

Who was the real sabertooth predator: Thylacosmilus or Thylacoleo? 谁才是真正的剑齿虎?Thylacosmilus还是Thylacoleo?
Christine M. Janis
Sabertoothed mammalian predators, all now extinct, were almost exclusively feloid carnivorans (Eutheria, Placentalia): here a couple of extinct metatherian predators are considered in comparison with the placental sabertooths. Thylacosmilus (the “marsupial sabertooth”) and Thylacoleo (the “marsupial lion”) were both relatively large (puma‐sized) carnivores of the Plio‐Pleistocene in the Southern Hemisphere (Argentina and Australia, respectively). Both carnivores have captured the public imagination, especially as predators that were somehow analogous to northern placental forms. But a more detailed consideration of their morphology shows that neither can be simply analogized with its supposed placental counterpart. While Thylacosmilus did indeed have saber‐like canines, many aspects of its anatomy show that it could not have killed prey in the manner proposed for the sabertoothed felids such as Smilodon. Rather than being an active predator, it may have been a specialized scavenger, using the hypertrophied canines to open carcasses, and perhaps deployed a large tongue to extract the innards. Thylacoleo lacked canines, and its supposedly “caniniform” incisors could not have acted like a felid's canines. Nevertheless, while its mode of dispatching its prey remains a subject for debate, it was clearly a powerful predator, likely to be capable of bringing down prey bigger than itself while hunting alone. In that regard, it may have filled the ecomorphological role proposed for placental sabertooths, and so despite the lack of canines can be nominated as the true “marsupial sabertooth” out of the two extinct taxa.
现已灭绝的剑齿类哺乳动物食肉动物几乎都是猫科食肉动物(Eutheria,Placentalia):在此,我们将几种已灭绝的元古宙食肉动物与胎盘剑齿虎进行比较。Thylacosmilus("有袋剑齿")和Thylacoleo("有袋狮")都是南半球(分别是阿根廷和澳大利亚)上新世-更新世时期体型相对较大的食肉动物。这两种食肉动物都吸引了公众的想象力,尤其是将它们视为在某种程度上类似于北方胎盘类的食肉动物。但对它们的形态进行更详细的研究后发现,这两种食肉动物都不能简单地与假定的胎盘类动物进行类比。虽然Thylacosmilus确实有类似剑齿的犬齿,但其解剖学的许多方面都表明,它不可能像Smilodon等剑齿鼬类那样捕杀猎物。与其说它是一种活跃的捕食者,倒不如说它是一种专门的食腐动物,用肥大的犬齿打开尸体,或许还用大舌头舔食内脏。Thylacoleo没有犬齿,其所谓的 "犬状 "门齿也不可能像猫科动物的犬齿那样发挥作用。尽管如此,尽管它驱赶猎物的方式仍有争议,但它显然是一种强大的捕食者,很可能有能力在单独狩猎时击倒比自己大的猎物。在这方面,它可能扮演了胎盘剑齿虎的非形态学角色,因此,尽管没有犬齿,它仍可被提名为两个已灭绝类群中真正的 "有袋剑齿虎"。

Bending performance changes during prolonged canine eruption in saber‐toothed carnivores: A case study of Smilodon fatalis 剑齿食肉动物在长时间犬齿喷出期间弯曲性能的变化:Smilodon fatalis 的案例研究
Z. Jack Tseng
The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition. Recent research on the ontogenetic timing of skull traits indicates the adult canine can take years to fully erupt, but the consequences of prolonged eruption on inferences of canine functional morphology are missing from current discourse and have not been quantified. Here I evaluate hypotheses about adult canine bending strength and stiffness, respectively, during eruption in the felid Smilodon fatalis. Simulated eruption sequences of three adult canines were generated from specimen models to assess shifting cross‐sectional geometry properties, and bending strength and stiffness under laterally directed loads were estimated using finite element analysis. Consistent with beam theory expectations, S. fatalis canine cross‐sectional geometry is optimized for increased bending strength with increased erupted height. However, canine cross‐sectional geometry changes through eruption exaggerate rather than minimize lateral deflection. Spatial constraint for maximum root length from adjacent sensory structures in the maxilla and the recently identified universal power law are hypothesized to limit the growth capacity of canine anteroposterior length and, consequently, maintenance of bending stiffness through eruption. Instead, the joint presence of the deciduous and adult canines for >50% of the adult canine eruption period effectively increases canine mediolateral width and brings bending strength and stiffness estimates closer to theoretical optima. Similarly prolonged retention of deciduous canines in other sabertooths suggests dual‐canine buttressing is a convergently evolved strategy to maximize bending strength and stiffness.
剑齿食肉动物的犬齿是已知最特化的牙齿结构之一。关于肥大犬齿的功能,有各种假设,包括展示和同类互动、软性食物加工,以及主动捕获猎物。最近对头骨特征的发育时间的研究表明,成年犬齿可能需要数年才能完全萌出,但目前的论述中还没有提及萌出时间过长对推断犬齿功能形态的影响,也没有对其进行量化。在此,我评估了关于长尾鼬爆发期间成年犬齿弯曲强度和刚度的假设。通过标本模型生成了三颗成年犬齿的模拟喷发序列,以评估横截面几何形状的移动特性,并使用有限元分析估算了横向载荷作用下的弯曲强度和刚度。与梁理论的预期一致,S. fatalis 犬齿横截面几何形状经过优化,随着喷发高度的增加,弯曲强度也会增加。然而,犬齿横截面几何形状在萌发过程中的变化会加剧而不是减小横向挠度。据推测,上颌相邻感觉结构对最大牙根长度的空间限制以及最近发现的普遍幂律限制了犬齿前后长度的增长能力,从而限制了萌出过程中弯曲刚度的维持。相反,在50%的成人犬齿萌出期,乳牙和成人犬齿的共同存在有效地增加了犬齿的内外侧宽度,使弯曲强度和刚度估计值更接近理论上的最佳值。在其他剑齿象中,落叶犬齿的长期保持同样表明,双犬齿对接是一种趋同进化策略,可以最大限度地提高弯曲强度和刚度。

Similarly prolonged retention of deciduous canines in other sabertooths suggests dual‐canine buttressing is a convergently evolved strategy to maximize bending strength and stiffness.","PeriodicalId":22308,"journal":{"name":"The Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140560256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Propofol has been used for many years but its functional target in the intact brain remains unclear. In the present study, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to demonstrate blood oxygen level dependence signal changes in the normal human brain during propofol anesthesia and explored the possible action targets of propofol. Ten healthy subjects were enrolled in two experimental sessions. In session 1, the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale was performed to evaluate asleep to awake/alert status. In session 2, images with blood oxygen level dependence contrast were obtained with echo‐planar imaging on a 1.5‐T Philips Gyroscan Magnetic Resonance System and analyzed. In both sessions, subjects were intravenously administered with saline (for 3 min) and then propofol (for 1.5 min) and saline again (for 10.5 min) with a constant speed infusion pump. Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale scoring showed that the subjects experienced conscious–sedative–unconscious–analepsia, which correlated well with the signal decreases in the anesthesia states. Propofol induced significant signal decreases in hypothalamus (18.2% ± 3.6%), frontal lobe (68.5% ± 11.2%), and temporal lobe (34.7% ± 6.1%). Additionally, the signals at these three sites were fulminant and changed synchronously. While in the thalamus, the signal decrease was observed in 5 of 10 of the subjects and the magnitude of decrease was 3.9% ± 1.6%. These results suggest that there is most significant inhibition in hypothalamus, frontal lobe, and temporal in propofol anesthesia and moderate inhibition in thalamus. These brain regions might be the targets of propofol anesthesia in human brain. Anat Rec, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
异丙酚已使用多年,但其在完整大脑中的功能靶点仍不清楚。本研究采用功能磁共振成像技术,观察异丙酚麻醉过程中正常人大脑血氧水平依赖性信号的变化,探讨异丙酚可能的作用靶点。10名健康受试者参加了两个实验阶段。在第1阶段,采用观察者警觉/镇静量表评估睡眠到清醒/警觉状态。在第二阶段,在1.5 - T Philips Gyroscan磁共振系统上通过回波平面成像获得了血氧水平依赖性对比图像并进行了分析。在两个疗程中,受试者均静脉注射生理盐水(3分钟),然后在恒速输液泵下再次注射异丙酚(1.5分钟)和生理盐水(10.5分钟)。观察者警觉性/镇静量表评分显示受试者经历了意识-镇静-无意识-睡眠,这与麻醉状态下的信号减少有很好的相关性。异丙酚引起下丘脑(18.2%±3.6%)、额叶(68.5%±11.2%)、颞叶(34.7%±6.1%)信号明显下降。此外,这三个位点的信号是暴发性的,并且是同步变化的。而在丘脑,10名受试者中有5名出现信号减弱,幅度为3.9%±1.6%。这些结果表明,异丙酚麻醉对下丘脑、额叶和颞叶的抑制作用最为显著,对丘脑的抑制作用为中度。这些脑区可能是异丙酚麻醉在人脑中的作用靶点。Anat Rec, 2010。©2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc。
