MicroCT surface scans of mice humeri (climbing experiment)

This data consists of 3D surface scans of 43 mice humeri (right anatomical
side), which have been extracted from micro-computed tomography (microCT)
files. The original analysis of these bones was conducted in an earlier
study (Siegel & Jones [1975] American Journal of Physical
Anthropology 42:141-144), focusing on the effects of climbing activity on
bone dimensions. In the new study by Karakostis and Wallace (DOI after
publication: 10.1002/ajpa.24700), the 3D surface scans were used to
compare between habitual climbers (21) and controls (22) by applying the
"Validated Entheses-based Reconstruction of Activity" (V.E.R.A.)
method on four muscle attachment sites of the humerus (greater tubercle,
lesser tubercle, supinator crest, and deltoid tuberosity). Significant
entheseal differences were found between activity groups in both
univariate and multivariate analyses, showing that our approach can be
used to identify skeletal evidence of habitual climbing activities in
mice.
