Dear Francesco, My colleague, Tim Ryan, has published extensively on this, e.g.: - Ryan, T. M., M. Colbert, R.A. Ketcham, and C.J. Vinyard. (2010) Trabecular bone structure in the mandibular condyle of gouging and non-gouging platyrrhines. *American Journal of Physical Anthropology* 141:583–593. - Ryan, T. M. and A. Walker (2010) Trabecular bone structure in the humeral and femoral heads of anthropoid primates. *Anatomical Record* 293:719–729. - Silcox, M.T., J.I. Bloch, D.M. Boyer, M. Godinot, T. M. Ryan, F. Spoor, and A. Walker. (2009) The semicircular canal system in early primates and euprimates. *Journal of Human Evolution* 56:315-327. - Welker, K., J. Orkin, and T. M. Ryan. (2009) Analysis of intra-individual and inter-sex variation in semi-circular canal dimensions using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography. *Journal of Anatomy* 215:444-451.
