Size Disparity in Putative Primate Adaptive Radiations and Other Mammalian Clades
ABSTRACT Introduction Adaptive radiation is commonly viewed as the rapid production of phenotypic disparity and taxonomic diversity. Among primates, two clades have been identified as potential adaptive radiations: the lemurs of Madagascar and the platyrrhines of the Americas. This study examines these clades for one of the proposed signals of adaptive

The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...
