...Melody W. Young; Alec T. Wilken; Armita R. Manafzadeh; Alissa F. Schurr; Aaron Bastian; Edwin Dickinson; Michael C. Granatosky ABSTRACT Prokinesis, a mode of avian cranial kinesis involving motion between the neurocranium and upper beak, has long been investigated in biomechanical analyses of avian...

...Megan M. Dawson; Keith A. Metzger; David B. Baier; Elizabeth L. Brainerd SUMMARY Avian cranial kinesis, in which mobility of the quadrate, pterygoid and palatine bones contribute to upper bill elevation, is believed to occur in all extant birds. The most widely accepted model for upper bill...

...Sander W. S. Gussekloo; Ron G. Bout SUMMARY Cranial kinesis in birds is induced by muscles located caudal on the cranium. These forces are transferred onto the moveable parts of the skull via the Pterygoid–Palatinum Complex (PPC). This bony structure therefore plays an essential role in cranial...

...Anthony Herrel; Peter Aerts; Frits De Vree ABSTRACT Although it is generally assumed that cranial kinesis is a plesiomorphic characteristic in squamates, experimental data tend to contradict this hypothesis. In particular, coupled kinesis (i.e. streptostyly and mesokinesis) presumably arose...

...A. Herrel; F. De Vree; V. Delheusy; C. Gans ABSTRACT Cranial kinesis was studied in two species of gekkonid lizard, Gekko gecko and Phelsuma madagascariensis , using cineradiography and electromyography. The skull of these geckoes showed the three types of kinesis described by Versluys...
