Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Taylor A. Polvadore investigates biomechanical phenomena related to the feeding apparatus and locomotion in primates. Polvadore's research examines tradeoffs between bite force and gape in lemurs and studies ontogenetic changes in jaw leverage and skull shape in capuchin monkeys. Additional work includes the oral processing of guenon species and the relationship between limb and hip morphology and locomotion in African colobine monkeys. Polvadore also has an interest in the effects of various treatments on bone tissue properties, specifically bone stiffness and anisotropy. Collaborations include work with Claire E. Terhune and Parker M. Taylor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and Caitlin B. Yoakum at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith. Polvadore has published 11 works with an h-index of 4 and 24 citations.
