I wanted to share this beautiful image of different diaphragms by illustrator Shannon May. The image was the cover picture of the article “Behind Each Breath, an Underappreciated Muscle” by Carl Zimmer in the New York Times, April 2, 2015. The article deals with the evolutionary development of the diaphragm and its mutations. I don’t post the article itself as it’s based on research involving animal experiments.
