The evolution and anatomy of the horse manus with an emphasis on digit reduction [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
We revisit digit reduction in the horse and propose that all five digits are partially present in the modern adult forelimb. Osteological descriptions of selected tetradactyl, tridactyl and monodactyl equids demonstrate the evolution of the forelimb ...
