Unique suites of trabecular bone features characterize locomotor behavior in human and non-human anthropoid primates.

Understanding the mechanically-mediated response of trabecular bone to locomotion-specific loading patterns would be of great benefit to comparative mammalian evolutionary morphology. Unfortunately, assessments of the correspondence between individual trabecular bone features and inferred behavior p...
