Femoral specializations to locomotor habits in early archosauriforms

Romain Pintore et al.

Summary: This study investigates the morphological variation in femora of archosauriforms, identifying key features that vary between bipedal and quadrupedal taxa, with a stronger association between locomotor mode and bone morphology than phylogeny. The research also highlights the impact of body size on morphological variation and demonstrates distinct allometric trajectories for bipedal and quadrupedal archosauriforms. Additionally, the study reveals a covariation between locomotor mode and body size, with variations in femoral bowing and the fourth trochanter, which emphasizes the importance of considering body size in the evolutionary history and functional morphology of early archosauriforms.

Divergent locomotor evolution in giant kangaroos: Evidence from foot bone bending resistances and microanatomy

Amber Y. Wagstaffe et al.

Summary: This study used micro-CT scans to compare the pedal bones of extinct sthenurine kangaroos and extant macropodine kangaroos, showing differences in resistance to bending and cortical bone distribution. The results support the hypothesis that sthenurines employed bipedal striding and had a different foot posture during locomotion.

Walking-and Running and Jumping-with Dinosaurs and their Cousins, Viewed Through the Lens of Evolutionary Biomechanics

A. R. Cuff et al.

Summary: This study integrates experimental data from locomotion in extant archosaurs with predictive simulations using musculoskeletal models, to understand how these animals walked, ran, and jumped. The simulations also provide insights into the locomotion of extinct archosaurs. The results suggest that early dinosaurs had some quantifiable differences in locomotor function and performance compared to other archosaurs.

BoneProfileR: The next step to quantify, model, and statistically compare bone section compactness profiles

Jordan Gonet et al.

Summary: Bone sections have been widely used in studying life history traits of vertebrates, and bone compactness is an important characteristic. Researchers have improved the methods of quantitative analysis of bone sections using statistical tools and developed the BoneProfileR software as an aid.

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.

A global phylogeny of turtles reveals a burst of climate-associated diversification on continental margins

Robert C. Thomson et al.

Summary: Living turtles exhibit extremely low species diversity despite their long evolutionary history, with climate and biogeography playing important roles in shaping their diversity. A study analyzing a large molecular dataset of turtles found that a threefold increase in diversification was associated with the emergence of new continental margins during the Eocene-Oligocene transition, driven by global cooling and drying. This shift in environmental conditions led to both regional extinctions and a burst of speciation in newly exposed habitats.

Hyloidichnus trackways with digit and tail drag traces from the Permian of Gonfaron (Var, France): New insights on the locomotion of captorhinomorph eureptiles

A. Logghe et al.

Summary: This study describes and categorizes newly discovered Hyloidichnus footprints from the middle Permian Pelitic Formation of Gonfaron in France, shedding light on possible trackmakers. Through detailed comparative analysis with Captorhinus and other captorhinomorphs, it enhances our understanding of locomotion styles of these tetrapods. High-resolution 3D models and analysis of tail impressions highlight the connection between gait and track preservation.

Chinlechelys from the Upper Triassic of New Mexico, USA, and the origin of turtles

Asher J. Lichtig et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive description of Chinlechelys tenertesta and reaffirms its unequivocal support for the composite model of costal bone formation in turtles. It challenges the identification of Permian Eunotosaurus africanus as a stem turtle and suggests Pappochelys rosinae is more closely related to basal placodont sauropterygians.
