The postcranial skeleton of Ennatosaurus tecton (Synapsida, Caseidae)

Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2017
The postcranial material referable to the Russian caseid Ennatosaurus tecton from the middle Permian is described. Although the cranium has been recently restudied in detail, the descriptions currently available for the postcranial skeleton are essentially limited to the original short account on the holotype provided by Efremov in 1956.

Relative growth of the postcranial skeleton in callitrichines

Journal of Human Evolution, 1992
Abstract This study presents the results and suggested functional implications of a metric analysis of skeletal size and shape variation in ontogenetic samples of three callitrichine species:Saguinus oedipus,Saguinus fuscicollis andCallithrix jacchus. Adult interspecific shape differences distinguishS. fuscicollis from the other species.

The postcranial skeleton of Mesozoic temnospondyl amphibians: a review

Alcheringa, 1991
Present knowledge of the postcranial skeleton of temnospondyl labyrinthodonts is reviewed, providing information on what positively assignable material is known. Some differences between the postcrania of the various families of temnospondyls are described, showing that detailed examination of postcranial elements does in fact reveal features which can

THE POSTCRANIAL SKELETON OF EARLY EOCENE RODENTS

Bulletin of Carnegie Museum of Natural History, 2004
Abstract We describe and analyze the postcranial skeleton of Wasatchian rodents based on more than 30 new skeletal associations representing at least four genera and six species, all but one species attributed to Paramyidae. The limb skeleton of Wasatchian paramyids is relatively homogeneous across species and similar to that of extant sciurids.

Postcranial pneumaticity: An evaluation of soft-tissue influences on the postcranial skeleton and the reconstruction of pulmonary anatomy in archosaurs

Journal of Morphology, 2006
Postcranial pneumaticity has been reported in numerous extinct sauropsid groups including pterosaurs, birds, saurischian dinosaurs, and, most recently, both crurotarsan and basal archosauriform taxa. By comparison with extant birds, pneumatic features in fossils have formed the basis for anatomical inferences concerning pulmonary structure and function,

Estimation of Ancestry from the Human Postcranial Skeleton

, 2021
The identification of ancestry from the human skeleton is one of the more difficult assessments in forensic anthropology. Most ancestry research has focused on the skull, however this is sometimes missing or unusable. Research on the postcranial skeleton has focussed on the pelvis and lower limb. The main aim of this study was to investigate the nature

The postcranial skeleton of the basal tapinocephalid dinocephalianTapinocaninus pamelae(Synapsida: Therapsida) from the South African Karoo Supergroup

Journal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2019
Dinocephalians form an important component of the Guadalupian basal therapsid faunas of Pangaea. Most research undertaken on this clade has focused on the skull while postcranial research has lagged, largely because of the rarity of sufficiently complete

Terrestrial adaptations in the postcranial skeletons of guenons

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1994
AbstractArboreal and semiterrestrial guenons show similar osteological features of the limbs across a wide range of species, environments, and geography, while the more terrestrially committed guenons exhibit greater morphological divergence. An ecomorphological comparison of two sympatric guenons living in Kibale Forest, Uganda, reveals an array of ...

Allometry and adaptation in the catarrhine postcranial skeleton

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1982
AbstractSeven measurements were taken on the postcranial skeleton of 249 specimens representing ten species of catarrhine primates and tested to determine their relationship with size. Size was measured as skeletal weight on each individual.It was found that the interspecific line based on the entire sample was in some cases determined not only by ...
