Description
Summary:Figure 7. Neural spine inclination (NSI) at different locations along the column in four delphinid species: Orcinus orca, AMNH 34276, total count = 53; Sotalia fluviatilis (MCZ 7097, vertebral count = 54); Tursiops truncatus (MCZ 7899, vertebral count = 62+); Lagenorhynchus acutus (MCZ 60939; vertebral count = 82). Note that the position of the synclinal point (arrows) is more posterior in species with higher counts, and that Orcinus does not exhibit syncliny. : Published as part of Buchholtz, Emily A. & Schur, Stephanie A., 2004, Vertebral osteology in Delphinidae (Cetacea), pp. 383-401 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 140 (3) on page 392, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2003.00105.x, http://zenodo.org/record/5429010
