Morphology and function of the forelimb in arboreal frogs: specializations for grasping ability.
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-12)
Frogs are characterized by a unique morphology associated with their saltatory lifestyle. Although variation in the form and function of the pelvic girdle and associated appendicular system related to specialized locomotor ...
Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) elastography imaging of equine distal forelimb flexor structures
(Arquivo Brasileiro Medicina Veterinaria Zootecnia, 2020-07-01)
This study set out to determine normal values for acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography of the superficial digital flexor tendon, deep digital flexor tendon, accessory ligament of the deep digital flexor ...
Forelimb posture in Chilesaurus diegosuarezi (Dinosauria, Theropoda) and its behavioral and phylogenetic implications
(Asociacion Paleontologica Argentina, 2017)
Many dinosaur skeletons show evidence of behavior, including feeding, predation, nesting, and parental care. The resting posture of the forelimbs has been studied in some theropod species, in relation to the acquisition ...
DIGITAL CONTRAST VENOGRAPHY IN VIVO OF THE FORELIMB AND HINDLIMB IN HEALTHY SHEEP AND GOAT
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2018)
Abstract The venographic examination allows diagnosing and treating foot diseases. It can be the basis of studies about the administration of medication in the hoof region. The aim of the study was to describe the venographic ...
Patterns of carpal development among anuran amphibians
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2001-12)
The unity and diversity of developmental processes in the vertebrate limb have singular importance in the interpretation of evolutionary hypotheses of tetrapod diversification. In anurans, the intraordinal diversity of ...
Further data on sesamoid identity from two Anuran species
(Wiley, 2015-08)
Considering that the identification of equivalent entities is the basis for any comparative analysis, we compare the histology, histochemistry, shape and dimensions of epiphyses, carpal and sesamoids in two anuran frogs. ...
Forelimb Bone Morphology and its Association with Foraging Ecology in Four Families of Neotropical Bats
(Springer, 2020-11)
The form-function paradigm postulates the existence of a correlation between form and function; a remarkable example of this is the transformation of the forelimb of bats into wings. The wings of bats are complex structures ...
The forelimbs of Octodontidae (Rodentia: Mammalia): substrate use, morphology, and phylogenetic signal
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-02)
Rodents of the family Octodontidae, endemic to South America, represent a group with low taxonomic richness group (six genera and 14 species) but have great ecomorphological diversity with epigean, semi-fossorial, fossorial, ...
