The ability to manipulate objects with limbs has evolved repeatedly among land tetrapods.
Several selective forces have been proposed to explain the emergence of forelimb …

Among tetrapods, gras** is an essential function involved in many vital behaviours. The
selective pressures that led to this function were widely investigated in species with …

Anthropoid vision contributes not only to reaching and gras** but also to the orienting of a
food item during the withdraw movement to precisely place it in the mouth for eating. The …

Objectives Foods that are geometrically and mechanically challenging to eat have been
associated with specializations in feeding behavior and craniodental morphology across …

The Proboscideans, an order of mammals including elephants, are the largest of the Earth
lands animals. One probable consequence of the rapid increase of their body size is the …

Forward-facing eyes with parallel optic axes, which provide a wide field of binocular vision
and precise depth perception, are among the diagnostic features of crown primates; …

Background Quantifying the rich home‐cage activities of tree shrews provides a reliable
basis for understanding their daily routines and building disease models. However, due to …

Compared to other primate taxa, hand preference in strepsirrhines has been poorly
investigated and the available studies have often produced conflicting results. Thanks to …

Objectives How a species uses its anatomical manipulators is determined by its anatomy,
physiology, and ecology. While ecology explains interspecific variation in grip**, gras** …
