About John A. Nyakatura

John A. Nyakatura, With an exceptional h-index of 25 and a recent h-index of 20 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, specializes in the field of evolution, locomotion, functional morphology, comparative biomechanics, vertebrates.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Scaling Nature 2: Fibers, Muscles & Bones

Linking morphology, performance, and habitat utilization: adaptation across biologically relevant ‘levels’ in tamarins

Evolution of gliding in squirrel‐related rodents (Mammalia: Sciuromorpha) did not induce a new optimum on the cortical thickness of the scapular glenoid fossa

Contour marks as potential indicators of evaporation rates in the early Permian continental vertebrate site Bromacker (Thuringia, Central Germany)

Design Challenges and Opportunities of Fossil Preparation Tools and Methods

A macroevolutionary common-garden experiment reveals differentially evolvable bone organization levels in slow arboreal mammals

Dense reconstruction of elephant trunk musculature

3D models related to the publication:‘The functional significance of aberrant cervical counts in sloths: insights from automated exhaustive analysis of cervical range of motion’
