Dr. Ross publishes paper on primate muscle fiber measurement with Dr. Andrea Taylor and colleagues

Dr. Ross is a coauthor on Dr. Andrea Taylor’s new paper on muscle fiber measurement techniques in strepsirrhine and platyrrhine primates. Evidence from this paper suggests that different techniques produce different results, and therefore the purpose of the study should be considered when considering which technique to use.
