Morphological examination and scanning electron microscopy of the barn owl's (Tyto alba) tongue.

The beak structure changes according to the feeding patterns of birds. Further, the morphological and histological structures of their tongues vary. Therefore, the current study aimed to perform macroanatomical and histological examinations and scanning electron microscopy of the barn owl's (Tylo alba) tongue.

A three-dimensional reconstructive study of pelvic cavity in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes).

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructive techniques are being used in many morphometric studies and clinical applications. The red fox is a wild animal localized in a wide geography. This study has been performed to determine morphometric properties of the pelvic cavity and reveal differences between sexes via 3D reconstruction obtained by multi-detector computed tomography images (MDCT) of the red fox.

Light and scanning electron microscopic study of lingual papillae in the wolf (Canis lupus).

In this study, it was aimed to perform light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation of the tongue and papilla belonging to two wolves. Light microscopy and SEM images of tongues were taken. It was observed that papillae filiformes concentrated in apex of these investigated tongues.

A three-dimensional reconstructive study of pelvic cavity in the New Zealand rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

The present study has been performed to reveal biometrical aspects and diameter-related differences in terms of sexes regarding pelvic cavity via three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction by using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images of pelvic cavity of the New Zealand rabbit. A total of 16 adult New Zealand rabbits, including 8 males and 8 females, were used in this study. Under anesthesia, the images obtained from MDCT were stacked and overlaid to reconstruct the 3D model of the pelvic cavity using 3D modeling software (Mimics 13.
