Here, we review the modern interface of three-dimensional (3D) empirical (eg motion
capture) and theoretical (eg modelling and simulation) approaches to the study of terrestrial …

Frogs have a highly conserved body plan, yet they employ a diverse array of locomotor
modes, making them ideal organisms for investigating the relationships between …

Vertebrate limb morphology often reflects the environment due to variation in locomotor
requirements. However, proximal and distal limb segments may evolve differently from one …

Frogs exhibit complex anatomical features of the pelvis, limbs and spine, long assumed to
represent specialisations for jum**. Yet frogs employ a wide range of locomotor modes …

In this ecomorphological study, we investigate how the ventral pectoral girdle morphology of
anurans correlates with their locomotor modes, habitat preferences, and phylogenetic …

Lissamphibians, represented today by frogs, salamanders, and caecilians, diverged deep in
the tetrapod tree of life. Extensive morphological adaptations to disparate lifestyles have …

Frogs (Anura) are major components of tetrapod communities in the Neotropics and,
according to divergence-time estimates, were already diverse in early Palaeogene times …

Pterosaurs are a well-known component of many Mesozoic fossil ecosystems worldwide. To
date, marine and terrestrial faunal elements such as cephalopods, fish, marine reptiles …

Here, we review the modern interface of three-dimensional (3D) empirical (eg motion
capture) and theoretical (eg modelling and simulation) approaches to the study of terrestrial …

Morphological diversification is a complex process influenced by several factors, including
the habitats where lineages diversify, ecological variation, developmental divergence …
