Correlates between calcaneal morphology and locomotion in extant and extinct carnivorous mammals
Locomotor mode is an important component of an animal's ecology, relating to both habitat and substrate choice (e.g., arboreal versus terrestrial) and in the case of carnivores, to mode of predation (e.g., ambush versus pursuit). Here, we examine how the morphology of the calcaneum, the ‘heel bone’ in the tarsus,...Panciroli, Elsa ; Janis, Christine ; Stockdale, Maximilian ; Martín‐Serra, Alberto
