Ulna of Extant Xenarthrans: Shape, Size, and Function

Nestor Toledo et al.

Summary: Xenarthra, a major clade of placental mammals, includes sloths and anteaters, and armadillos, which have distinct morphologies and behaviors. The ulna, a forelimb element, shows specialized morphologies for different abilities like digging and climbing. Function and ecological analysis using 2-D geometric morphometry help distinguish between arboreal and terrestrial xenarthrans based on ulnar morphology.

Functional Indices and Postnatal Ontogeny of Long Bones of the Forelimb in the Sigmodontine Rodents (Rodentia: Cricetidae)

Luz Valeria Carrizo et al.

Summary: The study found that forelimbs tend to be elongated and slender in ambulatory, scansorial, and quadrupedal-saltatorial species, while short and thicker in semifossorial species. Morphofunctional indices did not distinguish the sample based on age categories, possibly indicating that juveniles of different rodent species have similar morphology to adults in terms of locomotion.

Locomotion in Rodents and Small Carnivorans: Are they So Different?

Nahuel A. Munoz

Summary: The shape of the humerus in rodents and carnivorans is related to substrate use and taxonomy, while the femur shape is more influenced by taxonomic differences. However, there is also a relation with proposed ecological categories in the femur shape, showing ecological morphological correlations beneath taxonomic differences. This suggests differential selective pressure on each limb, with the forelimb possibly playing a greater role in activities like digging and climbing.

Allometry and Ontogeny in the Vertebral Column of Southern Hemisphere Dolphins: a 3D Morphofunctional Approach

Maria Constanza Marchesi et al.

Summary: The study found different evolutionary and developmental patterns in the Commerson's dolphin, Peale's dolphin, dusky dolphin, and hourglass dolphin in the Southern Hemisphere, with Commerson's dolphin showing the highest degree of allometry. This is the first time that allometric changes in small cetaceans have been studied using 3D geometric morphometrics.

Forelimb Bone Morphology and its Association with Foraging Ecology in Four Families of Neotropical Bats

Mariano S. Sanchez et al.

Summary: The study explores the relationship between the morphology of forelimb bones and the ecology and flight habits of bats, revealing a significant correlation between wing shape and forelimb bone morphology. The research also highlights the impact of phylogeny on morphological patterns and ecological habits in different bat lineages.
