The locomotor behavior of subfossil Malagasy sloth-lemurs (Strepsirrhini: Palaeopropithecidae) and koala-lemurs (Strepsirrhini: Megaladapidae): new insights from limb trabecular bone
The locomotion of Malagasy Quaternary subfossil lemurs - including palaeopropithecids (sloth-lemurs) and megaladapids (koala-lemurs) -has been investigated on abundant postcranial remains. Proposed st...

The relationship between primate distal fibula trabecular architecture and arboreality, phylogeny and size
The fibula, despite being traditionally overlooked compared to the femur and the tibia, has recently received attention in primate functional morphology due to its correlation with the degree of arbo....
