Femoral mechanical performance of precocial and altricial birds: a simulation study
Abstract Background As the major load-bearing structures, bones exhibit various properties related to mechanical performance to adapt to different locomotor intensities. The habits and ontogenetic changes of locomotion in animals can, thus, be explored by assessing skeletal mechanical performance. M...
