Knuckle-walking in Sahelanthropus? Locomotor inferences from the ulnae of fossil hominins and other hominoids
Because the ulna supports and transmits forces during movement, its morphology can signal
aspects of functional adaptation. To test whether, like extant apes, some hominins habitually …

Integrative approach uncovers new patterns of ecomorphological convergence in slow arboreal xenarthrans
F Alfieri, L Botton-Divet, JA Nyakatura… - Journal of Mammalian …, 2022 - Springer
Identifying ecomorphological convergence examples is a central focus in evolutionary
biology. In xenarthrans, slow arboreality independently arose at least three times, in the two …

A macroevolutionary common-garden experiment reveals differentially evolvable bone organization levels in slow arboreal mammals
Eco-morphological convergence, ie, similar phenotypes evolved in ecologically convergent
taxa, naturally reproduces a common-garden experiment since it allows researchers to keep …
