Functional adaptive landscapes predict terrestrial capacity at the origin of limbs

Blake V. Dickson et al.

Summary: The analysis of humeri shows that changes in shape are driven by both ecology and phylogeny, with functional trade-offs related to locomotor performance. The evolution of terrestrial locomotion in tetrapods involved the acquisition of limb-based locomotion, leading to the diversification of terrestrial tetrapods and establishment of modern ecological niches. Stem tetrapods may have used transitional gaits during the initial stages of land exploration, stabilized by opposing selective pressures of amphibious habits.

Evolution of forelimb musculoskeletal function across the fish-to-tetrapod transition

J. L. Molnar et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the evolution of early tetrapod forelimbs is related to limb-substrate interactions, with specializations for weight support appearing later. Early tetrapods exhibited a unique forelimb locomotor mode unlike that of any extant animal.
