Unique proximal tibial morphology in strepsirrhine primates

Article Abstract:

The morphology of the tibial plateau in extent and fossil primates, and in three mammalian outgroups such as the pen-tailed tree shrew, tree shrew, and flying lemur or dermopteran is discussed. The hypothesize states that proximal tibiae with either a single spine or reduced medical spine morphology facilitate a greater degree of knee rotation about the eminence relative to the double-spine condition and are associated with more frequent adoption of vertical body positions.

Galago locomotion in Kibale National Park, Uganda

Article Abstract:

The locomotion and postures in two sympatric galagos species (Galagoides thomasi and Galago matschiei) living in Kibale National Park, Uganda are investigated. The similarities in substrate use are most likely due to the similar body sizes and anatomies of the two species, as well as to the structure and availability of trees in Kibale National Park.
