Convergent evolution in locomotory patterns of flying and swimming animals
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011-06)
Locomotion is one of the major energetic costs faced by animals and various strategies have evolved to reduce its cost. Birds use interspersed periods of flapping and gliding to reduce the mechanical requirements of level ...

Morphological Variation of the Forelimb and Claw in Neotropical Sigmodontine Rodents (Rodentia: Cricetidae)
(Springer, 2016-03)
The limbs of mammals exhibit a variety of morphologies that reflect the diversity of their habitats and their functional needs, including subtle structural differences in their distal limb integumentary appendages (hooks, ...
High resolution, week-long, locomotion time series from Japanese quail in a home-box environment
(2016-06-07)
Temporal and spatial patterns of locomotion reflect both resting periods and the movement from one place to another to satisfy physiological and behavioural needs. Locomotion is studied in diverse areas of biology such as ...
A quantitative method for inferring locomotory shifts in amniotes during ontogeny, its application to dinosaurs and its bearing on the evolution of posture
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
Evolutionary transitions between quadrupedal and bipedal postures are pivotal to the diversification of amniotes on land, including in our own lineage (Hominini). Heterochrony is suggested as a macroevolutionary mechanism ...
Postcranial Skeleton of Glironia venusta (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae, Caluromyinae): Description and Functional Morphology
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2009-09)
The postcranial skeleton of the neotropical living marsupial Glironia venusta is described and compared in a functional framework. Osteological and myological characters of 19 species of living didelphids and some additional ...
An ecomorphological analysis of forelimb musculo-tendinous system in sigmodontine rodents (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae)
(Oxford University Press, 2014-08)
La idea central de la teoría ecomorfológica plantea que existe una correlación entre los requisitos ecológicos y el diseño (morfología) de los organismos. Los roedores sigmodontinos presentan una amplia variedad de tipos ...
