Anatomically grounded estimation of hindlimb muscle sizes in Archosauria

Andrew R. Cuff et al.

Summary: In vertebrates, muscle forces acting on bones drive active movement. This study investigates the relationship between physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) and muscular attachment areas (AAs) in hindlimb muscles of Nile crocodiles and bird species. Findings show variations in the ratio between AAs and PCSA within and across species, but muscle fascicle lengths are consistent within individual species. Equations can predict the ratio of muscle AA to PCSA, and this method can be used to estimate muscle sizes in archosaurian muscles.

A proposed standard for quantifying 3-D hindlimb joint poses in living and extinct archosaurs

Stephen M. Gatesy et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the dominance of the last common ancestor of birds and crocodylians in terrestrial Mesozoic ecosystems and the importance of studying archosaur skeletal structure using 3-D digital models. The authors propose a standard methodological approach for measuring the position and orientation of the major segments of the archosaur pelvis and hindlimb in 3-D, providing examples with extant guineafowl and alligator. These proposed conventions can also be applied to different vertebrate clades to compare posture and movement.

Homology and osteological correlates of pedal muscles among extant sauropsids

Soki Hattori et al.

Summary: Archosaurs showed increasing bipedalism during their evolutionary history, with hindlimbs becoming major weight-bearing appendages. Studies on homologies of pedal muscles among sauropsids revealed that some muscles between non-avian sauropsids and avians are homologous, challenging classical hypotheses. This new hypothesis postulates that certain avian and non-avian muscles are homologous, without drastic changes in attachment sites.

Musculoskeletal modelling of the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) hindlimb: Effects of limb posture on leverage during terrestrial locomotion

Ashleigh L. A. Wiseman et al.

Summary: This study utilized a three-dimensional computational biomechanical model and X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology technology to investigate the muscle function and motion mechanics of the pelvis and hindlimb of juvenile Nile crocodiles during terrestrial locomotion. The research found differences in muscle leverages and moment-generating capacities in different limb postures during various locomotory behaviors, not fully supporting the hypothesis that optimal poses exist across all behaviors.

The evolution of pelvic limb muscle moment arms in bird-line archosaurs

V. R. Allen et al.

Summary: Through studying the three-dimensional musculoskeletal models of bird-line archosaurs, the evolution of muscle moment arms during the transition from dinosaurs to birds was quantified. Results indicate a shift in locomotion from hip-based to knee-based mechanisms and reveal unexpected ancestral specializations in early dinosaurs.
