Ontogeny and functional adaptation of trabecular bone in the human foot
Trabecular bone forms the internal scaffolding of most bones, and consists of a microscopic lattice-like structure of interconnected bony struts. Experimental work has demonstrated that trabecular bone adapts its structural rigidity and orientation in response to the strains placed upon the …

Functional adaptation of mandibular trabecular bone and its association with diet: Inter- and intra-specific comparisons among Homo sapiens, papionins, and mice.
Mandibular cortical bone morphology varies considerably across mammals and has been attributed to changes in feeding behaviour related to diet, subsistence and food mechanical properties (FMPs), including the shift from hunter-gathering to agriculture within humans during the Neolithic. Trabecular …

Tissue-specific behavioural signatures in cortical and trabecular bone. Variations in long bone structure in medieval Britain, and the differential effects of age.
… structural properties of cortical and trabecular bone in the limbs are compared in three groups from a medieval British population. Since both tissues have been shown to adapt to mechanical loading, anthropologists have interpreted the morphology of either cortical or trabecular bone as a record …
