OverviewAI-generated summary

Caitlin B. Yoakum's research investigates biomechanical and morphological changes in primate craniofacial structures, with a particular focus on ontogenetic development and sexual dimorphism. Her work includes studies on bite force, gape, and jaw leverage in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus and Cebus), examining how skull shape influences these functions during growth. Yoakum has also explored accessory mental foramen frequency in hominoids and assessed sexual dimorphism in human craniofacial morphology using CT scans. Additionally, her research extends to human posture and device usage, specifically examining how sex and height influence neck posture when using electronic handheld devices. She has published 20 papers, with an h-index of 5, and collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
