Kinematic differences in the knuckle-walking gaits of chimpanzees and gorillas have
provided crucial evidence to support the theory that knuckle-walking evolved independently …

In in-vivo motion analyses, data from a limited number of subjects and trials is used as proxy
for locomotion properties of entire populations, yet the inherent hierarchy of the individual …

Studies of positional behavior, gait, and habitat use are important for understanding how
animals adapt to the challenges of their environment. In turn, this information is useful for …

Primates display high forelimb compliance (increased elbow joint yield) compared to most
other mammals. Forelimb compliance, which is especially marked among arboreal primates …

O gênero Cebus é um táxon que agrupa espécies arborícolas, cujo principal modo
locomotor é o deslocamento quadrúpede e o principal modo postural é sentado. No …

The first man reported in the world literature exhibiting habitual quadrupedal locomotion was
discovered by a British traveler and writer on the famous Bagdad road near Havsa/Samsun …

Objectives Diagonal‐sequence, diagonal‐couplet (DSDC) gaits have been proposed as an
adaptation to travel on discontinuously arranged arboreal branches. Only a few studies have …

Most studies of primate locomotion in an evolutionary context have concentrated on the
morphology and behavior of adults. In this dissertation, I present three “case studies” …

The arboreal habitat is a complex mesh of intertwining elements, which make locomotion
challenging. Nevertheless, mammals have managed to cope with its complexity. During …

Primates are an order of mammals that lack claws. Therefore, arboreal primates must apply
opposing pressures with their digits to grasp supports and move through their habitats. This …
