The evolution and biomechanics of dinosaurian tails
The tail serves a range of functions including balance. Intervertebral joint stiffness, a measure of spinal rigidity, is useful for understanding its capability to perform basic functions, such as support against gravity. Dolphin joints of low and high stiffness are correlated with distinct vertebra...
