Joint Angular Excursions and Angular Range Utilization During Stance‐Phase Locomotion in Terrestrial Mammals: A Comparative Morphofunctional Data Set

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
This study quantifies stance‐phase joint angular excursions and angular utilization (AUI%) during walking in 182 terrestrial mammal species. Across mammals, total limb excursion during stance (TAE) decreases with increasing body mass, whereas AUI% remains broadly conserved, indicating similar proportional use of summed joint excursions to generate net ...

Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...
