Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Taylor A. Polvadore's research investigates the biomechanics of animal anatomy, with a particular focus on the skeletal and oral structures of primates. Their work examines how anatomical features relate to functional capabilities, such as feeding mechanics and locomotion. Recent publications explore ontogenetic changes in jaw leverage and skull shape in capuchin monkeys, as well as the trade-offs between bite force and gape in lemurs. Polvadore has also studied the oral processing of guenon species and the relationship between limb and hip morphology and leaping in African colobine monkeys. Additionally, their research includes technical investigations into the effects of various treatments on bone tissue stiffness and anisotropy. Polvadore collaborates with Claire E. Terhune and Caitlin B. Yoakum on shared publications.
