Functional space analyses reveal the function and evolution of the most bizarre theropod manual unguals

Zichuan Qin et al.

Summary: This study investigates the functions and formation process of the hand claws of early-branching maniraptoran dinosaurs using finite element analysis and functional-space analysis. The results show distinct functional divergence among the hand claws, with early-branching ones being used for digging and late-branching ones for display. The study also confirms that most therizinosaurians were herbivores.

Functional morphology of vertebrate claws investigated using functionally based categories and multiple morphological metrics

Tracy J. Thomson et al.

Summary: The functional morphology of vertebrate claws has been analyzed using measurements from 80 modern claw specimens. A new classification scheme based on biomechanically meaningful measurements and categories was defined, and successfully classified 81.25% of claw specimens. This study establishes that overall claw morphology reflects mechanical function more than previously demonstrated.
