Diagnosing Invasive Parasites (2023)
Book Chapter

Microorganisms are everywhere and biological invasions are no exception. In this chapter, we present an arsenal of diagnostic and research tools that can help the invasion biologist to identify, characterize, quantify and understand the symbiotic ass...

3D Forensic Science: An introductory statement from the members of the Forensic Capability Network (FCN) Visual Technologies Research Group (VTRG) (2023)
Journal Article

The Forensic Capability Network (FCN) Visual Technologies Research Group (VTRG) is a collective of academics, consultants, forensic practitioners, and law enforcement with expertise in the developing field of 3D forensic science (3DFS) that was estab...

Enamel growth variation in pathological samples and its potential uses as a diagnostic tool in biological and forensic anthropology (2023)
Presentation / Conference

A preliminary study into the impact of using three-dimensional models in forensic anthropology learning and teaching. (2022)
Journal Article

Forensic anthropology has traditionally relied on two-dimensional (2D) images, such as photographs and sketches, to perform analyses, and disseminate findings. However, as 3D imaging technology advances, it has become more widely implemented into for...

A survey of case studies on the use of forensic three-dimensional printing in England and Wales. (2022)
Journal Article

3D printing has rapidly developed and been applied in forensic science due to its use in creating demonstrations for courts of law. Much of the literature on this specific topic has focused on the use of 3D printed models in academia, the potential i...

Functional Analysis of Anuran Pelvic and Thigh Anatomy Using Musculoskeletal Modelling of Phlyctimantis maculatus (2022)
Journal Article

Using their abundant musculature, frogs are able to exhibit outstanding behavioural versatility. However, understanding the dynamic motion of their 30 + hindlimb muscles, with multi-joint action, and curved pathways, is challenging. This is particula...

A response to the comment to “A.J. Collings, K. Brown, Reconstruction and physical fit analysis of fragmented skeletal remains using 3D imaging and printing” (2021)
Journal Article

Forensic undergraduate education during and after the COVID-19 imposed lockdown: Strategies and reflections from India and the UK. (2020)
Journal Article

Reconstruction and physical fit analysis of fragmented skeletal remains using 3D imaging and printing (2020)
Journal Article

Physical fit analysis (PFA) entails physically fitting fragmented evidence together to determine shared origin. PFA can be challenging to conduct with bone fragments particularly when fragile, sharp, or embedded in other materials. Three-dimensional...

Digital dissection of the pelvis and hindlimb of the red-legged running frog, Phlyctimantis maculatus, using Diffusible Iodine Contrast Enhanced computed microtomography (DICE µCT). (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: The current study applies both traditional and Diffusible Iodine Contrast Enhanced computed microtomography (DICE µCT) techniques to reveal the musculoskeletal anatomy of Phlyctimantis maculatus. DICE µCT has emerged as a powerful tool to...

The impact of pelvic lateral rotation on hindlimb kinematics and stride length in the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata (2019)
Journal Article

Some frog species, such as Kassina maculata (red-legged running frog), use an asynchronous walking/running gait as their primary locomotor mode. Prior comparative anatomy work has suggested that lateral rotation of the pelvis improves walking perform...

The dynamic role of the ilio-sacral joint in jumping frogs. (2018)
Journal Article

A striking feature among jumping frogs is a sharp pelvic bend about the ilio-sacral (IS) joint, unique to anurans. Although this sagittal plane hinge has been interpreted as crucial for the evolution of jumping, its mechanical contribution has not be...

Kinematic control of extreme jump angles in the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata. (2017)
Journal Article

The kinematic flexibility of frog hindlimbs enables multiple locomotor modes within a single species. Prior work has extensively explored maximum performance capacity in frogs; however, the mechanisms by which anurans modulate performance within loco...

Inverse dynamic modelling of jumping in the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata. (2017)
Journal Article

Although the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata, is secondarily a walker/runner, it retains the capacity for multiple locomotor modes, including jumping at a wide range of angles (nearly 70 deg). Using simultaneous hind limb kinematics and sin... Read More about Inverse dynamic modelling of jumping in the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata..
