“…laser-ablation inductively coupled mass-spectrometry). Indeed, in our sample rhesus macaque primary lamellar bone growth rate is the range of 0.75 to 1.25 μm/day, while in humans a range of 0.63 to 0.88 μm/day has been reported [ 50 ]. Hence, at a given spatial resolution (e.g., 1μm, as in the present study) the temporal resolution for macaques is slightly higher than for humans.…”

Extracting life history information from mineralized hard tissues of extant and extinct species is an ongoing challenge in evolutionary and conservation studies. Primary lamellar bone is a mineralized tissue with multidien periodicity that begins deposition prenatally and continues until adulthood albeit with concurrent resorption, thus maintaining a record spanning several years of an individual’s life. Here, we use field-emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis to measure the relative concentrations of calcium, phosphorous, oxygen, magnesium and sodium in the femora of seven rhesus macaque with known medical and life-history information. We find that the concentration of these elements distinguishes parous from nulliparous females; that in females calcium and phosphorus are lower in bone formed during reproductive events; and that significant differences in relative magnesium concentration correlate with breastfeeding in infants.

“…It is also significant that hard tissue rhythms are often preserved after an organism’s death, either as resilient hard tissue or as a fossil. Incremental patterns are a primary source of information about the duration and amplitude of periodic phenomena as well as about other natural history events occurring during formation: Information about cyclicity, interactions between environmental and/or physiological cycles, and perturbations to the responding system are all inherently contained in these incremental patterns (Bromage et al, 2011).…”

Various natural patterns—such as terrestrial sand dune ripples, lamellae in vertebrate bones, growth increments in fish scales and corals, aortas and lamellar corpuscles in humans and animals—comprise layers of different thicknesses and lengths. Microstructures in manmade materials—such as alloys, perlite steels, polymers, ceramics, and ripples induced by laser on the surface of graphen—also exhibit layered structures. These layered patterns form a record of internal and external factors regulating pattern formation in their various systems, making it potentially possible to recognize and identify in their incremental sequences trends, periodicities, and events in the formation history of these systems. The morphology of layered systems plays a vital role in developing new materials and in biomimetic research. The structures and sizes of these two-dimensional (2D) patterns are characteristically anisotropic: That is, the number of layers and their absolute thicknesses vary significantly in different directions. The present work develops a method to quantify the morphological characteristics of 2D layered patterns that accounts for anisotropy in the object of study. To reach this goal, we use Boolean functions and an N-partite graph to formalize layer structure and thickness across a 2D plane and to construct charts of (1) “layer thickness vs. layer number” and (2) “layer area vs. layer number.” We present a parameter disorder of layer structure (DStr) to describe the deviation of a study object’s anisotropic structure from an isotropic analog and illustrate that charts and DStr could be used as local and global morphological characteristics describing various layered systems such as images of, for example, geological, atmospheric, medical, materials, forensic, plants, and animals. Suggested future experiments could lead to new insights into layered pattern formation.

“…For instance, in a child growing during a period of drought, bone lamellae have been observed to 756 diminish from approximately 6 µm to 4 µm in width over the 8-or 9-day period over which each 757 lamella is formed (Bromage et al, 2011). Seasonal rhythms, perhaps dependent on food availability, are also apparent in such studies of lamellar bone growth-rate variability.…”
