Comparative anatomy, homologies and evolution of the pectoral and forelimb musculature of tetrapods with special attention to extant limbed amphibians and reptiles
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-11)
The main aim of the present work is to synthesize the information obtained from our dissections of the pectoral and forelimb muscles of representative members of the major extant taxa of limbed amphibians and reptiles and ...
Evolution of Locomotor Abilities in Frogs: Evidence from the Mesozoic-Paleogene Fossil Record
(Wiley, 2019)
Limbs appear to have played a key role in the adaptive radiation of anurans (frogs), showing morphologies associated with diverse locomotor abilities. Particularly, it has been shown that these abilities correlate with ...
Bird embryos uncover homology and evolution of the dinosaur ankle
(Nature, 2015)
The anklebone (astragalus) of dinosaurs presents a characteristic upward projection, the 'ascending process' (ASC). The ASC is present in modern birds, but develops a separate ossification centre, and projects from the ...
Multiwavelength flare observations: Temporal evolution of the 20 August 1992 flare

The Functional and Phylogenetic Implications of the Myology of the Lumbar Region, Tail, and Hind Limbs of the Lesser Grison (Galictis cuja)
(Springer, 2012-11-20)
Mustelids are a morphofunctionally diversified group. However, there are no descriptions of the postcranial musculature of South American mustelid species except for some comments from the 19th century. Here, we present ...
Walk before you jump: New insights on early frog locomotion from the oldest known salientian
(Paleontological Society, 2016-11)
Understanding the evolution of a Bauplan starts with discriminating phylogenetic signal from adaptation and the latter from exaptation in the observed biodiversity. Whether traits have predated, accompanied, or followed ...
Walking in skates (Chondrichthyes, Rajidae): Anatomy, behaviour and analogies to tetrapod locomotion
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2002-08)
Pelvic fin walking in skates is common. However, the structure and function of pelvic fins have not been analysed. Pelvic fins of skates of the genus Psammobatis and Rioraja agassizi are externally divided into an anterior ...
Embryonic development of the fossorial gymnophthalmid lizards Nothobachia ablephara and Calyptommatus sinebrachiatus
(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAGJENA, 2012)
The evolutionary history of the lizard family Gymnophthalmidae is characterized by several independent events of morphological modifications to a snake-like body plan, such as limb reduction, body elongation, loss of ...
