... of olfactory surface area (SA) and nasal airflow patterns in the pygmy slow loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus), a primate with primitive nasal cavities, except for enlarged eyes that converge upon the posterodorsal nasal region. Using the head of an adult loris cadaver, we co-registered micro-computed tomography (CT...

... of body size and the shapes of surface features within this genus (Fooden and Albrecht, 1993 ; Pan and Oxnard, 2000 ; Ito et al., 2014 , 2015). Computational fluid dynamics Humidity Nasal airflow Nasal cavity Primates Temperature Summary: Computational fluid dynamics simulations...

... during normal respiration that would be absent as a result of occlusion. Magnetic resonance imaging scans were used to construct a three-dimensional model of the mouse nasal cavity that provided the input for a computational fluid dynamics simulation of nasal airflow. The simulation revealed maximum...
