The locomotor behavior of subfossil Malagasy sloth-lemurs (Strepsirrhini: Palaeopropithecidae) and koala-lemurs (Strepsirrhini: Megaladapidae): new insights from limb trabecular bone The locomotion of Malagasy Quaternary subfossil lemurs - including palaeopropithecids (sloth-lemurs) and megaladapids (koala-lemurs) -has been investigated on abundant postcranial remains. Proposed st...

Very happy to share the preprint of our work on Quaternary subfossil lemur trabecular structure! Thanks to co-authors @julsam.bsky.social, Carla Argilés Esturgó and Damiano Marchi

The relationship between primate distal fibula trabecular architecture and arboreality, phylogeny and size The fibula, despite being traditionally overlooked compared to the femur and the tibia, has recently received attention in primate functional morphology due to its correlation with the degree of arbo....

Our latest paper on fibulas 🦴 has finally a home in the @journalofanatomy.bsky.social! We studied trabecular architecture to check if it records arboreal habits 🌳 in #primates 🐒🦧🦍... (1/2) 🧪 #science 🏺 #BioAnth
