“…Recent years have seen an explosion of studies drawing from a variety of disciplines and applying novel methods. For example, evolutionary genomics has revealed differences in myosin expression in humans and chimpanzees (Stedman et al, 2004); new techniques in muscle staining have enabled three-dimensional visualization of muscle tissue (e.g., Jeffery et al, 2011;Cox and Faulkes, 2014;Kupczik et al, 2015;Gignac et al, 2016;Santana, 2016;Orsbon et al, in review;Santana, in review); and many advances have been made in muscle developmental genetics (see Bryson-Richardson and Currie, 2008). These complement the more traditional approaches in muscle anatomy and physiology that continue to advance our understanding of the evolution and function of muscle (e.g., Burrows et al, 2006;Herrel et al, 2008;Diogo et al, 2009;Perry et al, 2011b;Hartstone-Rose et al, 2012).…”
