Principal coordinates analysis of the residuals of the regression of shape on size in cases of isolated coronal craniosynostosis (Left unicoronal synostosis in blue, right unicoronal synostosis in red and bilateral craniosynostosis in green). Skulls are viewed from above with the face at top and occiput at bottom of 3D CT reconstructions.

3D reconstruction of a baboon (Papio hamadryas) skull with different anatomical regions highlighted by color shading: the orbital region (yellow in upper left), face excluding orbital region (in pink, upper left), eurocranium (purple, middle), and face and cranial base (in cross section, green, lower right). These regions, and combinations thereof, can be used to construct and evaluate hypotheses about the functional and developmental basis of phenotypic integration (Richtsmeier, Weiss).

Three-dimensional reconstruction of the skull of Hadropithecus stenognathus, a subfossil lemur from Madagascar. The white portions are original fossils found in 1899, red colored areas are the frontal fragments found in 2003, blue regions are mirror imaged from opposite side of this skull, and the gray section was reconstructed with wax from a 3D stereolithography print. For more information, see Ryan et al. (2008).

Expression driven by a mouse Androgen Receptor enhancer (blue staining) in embryonic vibrissae, (arrows) hair follicles,and genital tubercle (upper right), as well as postnatal penile spines (lower right). The embryonic genital tubercle is a normal site of Androgen Receptor expression as shown by in situ hybridization (middle right)
