Trabecular architecture in the sciuromorph femoral head: allometry and functional adaptation
Abstract Background Sciuromorpha (squirrels and close relatives) are diverse in terms of body size and locomotor behavior. Individual species are specialized to perform climbing, gliding or digging behavior, the latter being the result of multiple independent evolutionary acquisitions. Each lifestyl...
