In their quest to understand what kind of hunter the extinct marsupial Thylacine was, two paleobiologists built a dataset of forelimb bone measurements that predict the predation style of a wide ...

Using a highly-detailed musculoskeletal model of an echidna forelimb, scientists are not only shedding new light on how the little-studied echidna's forelimb works, but are also opening a window into ...

IT MIGHT look like an amputated rat forelimb, but the photo above is of something much more exciting: the limb has been grown in the lab from living cells. It may go down in history as the first ...

Researchers report the evolutionary origins of morphological diversity in mammal forelimbs. Mammals exhibit diverse forelimb structures that reflect a range of ecological, behavioral, and locomotor ...

"What is the relationship between conformation and performance, and what can we do to impact it?" These questions have been asked by those focused on performance in many species, and they were the ...

Scientists have unearthed two 300-million-year-old fossils of a tiny animal that adapted to lose its forelimbs, shedding light on how vertebrates evolved a “snake-like body plan”. Modern-day reptiles ...

The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority announced April 21 the release of a new Equine Health Advisory identifying key risk factors associated with fatal proximal forelimb fractures in ...

Forelimb posture in sauropod dinosaurs is still poorly understood. Although a laterally directed (semisupinated) manus is the plesiomorphic condition in sauropodomorphs, the sauropod track record ...

At the start of their research, paleobiologists Christine Janis and Borja Figueirido simply wanted to determine the hunting style of an extinct marsupial called Thylacine (also known as the "marsupial ...
