Locomotion, Limb Proportions, and Skeletal Allometry in Lemurs and Lorises

Locomotion, Limb Proportions, and Skeletal Allometry in Lemurs and Lorises The allometric patterns of postcranial scaling in lemurs (Lemuridae and Indriidae) and lorises (Lorisinae) are established and discussed in relation to locomotor and postural adaptations. The scaling trends of each limb and its components vary significantly among these three prosimian groups, but all are functionally explicable in reference to habitual locomotor behavior and details of substrate utilization. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Folia Primatologica Brill

Abstract

The allometric patterns of postcranial scaling in lemurs (Lemuridae and Indriidae) and lorises (Lorisinae) are established and discussed in relation to locomotor and postural adaptations. The scaling trends of each limb and its components vary significantly among these three prosimian groups, but all are functionally explicable in reference to habitual locomotor behavior and details of substrate utilization.
