Extreme disparity in the appendicular skeleton of domestic dogs ( <i>Canis familiaris</i> )

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Domestic dogs ( Canis familiaris ) display more morphological variation than any other mammal. Cranial morphology has been extensively studied, as have the relationships with function, development, genetics, veterinary medicine, and breed welfare. Postcrania remain comparatively understudied, despite well-documented breed-specific predispositions to musculoskeletal disease. Here, we apply three-dimensional landma...
