Supplementary dataset: vertebral trabecular microarchitecture and biomechanical response in two South American cervids (Hippocamelus bisulcus and Pudu puda) — microCT and FEA outputs

The following supplementary materials are provided in support of the findings reported in the present study. Raw microCT outputs, finite element analysis parameters, and associated datasets and are organized as described below to ensure full reproducibility of the microstructural quantification and biomechanical simulations conducted on vertebral trabecular bone tissue of Hippocamelus bisulcus and Pudu puda. Supplementary Material S1: Raw and processed microCT-derived trabecular morphometric outputs (.txt) for each vertebral volume of interest (VOI), including acquisition settings, segmentation thresholds, and full structural descriptors. Supplementary Material S2: Complete dataset of trabecular microarchitectural parameters (Table S1, PDF) used for interspecific and regional comparisons. Supplementary Material S3: Detailed finite element analysis (FEA) configuration, including mesh convergence analysis, boundary conditions, and modeling parameters implemented in ANSYS. Supplementary Material S4: Representative video files of the scanned vertebral specimens and corresponding volumes of interest (VOIs) used for trabecular microarchitectural analysis, illustrating the spatial definition and localization of the analyzed regions within each vertebral body.
