Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric (3DGM) methods for placing landmarks on
digitized bones have become increasingly sophisticated in the last 20 years, including greater …

Specialized acrobatic leaping has been recognized as a key adaptive trait tied to the origin
and subsequent radiation of euprimates based on its observed frequency in extant primates …

Primates are generally characterized by low-crowned, brachydont molars relative to many
other groups of mammals. This conservative architecture may create special challenges for …

Objective: Multiple meaningful ecological characterizations of a species revolve around body
mass. Because body mass cannot be directly measured in extinct taxa, reliable body mass …

The talus is one of the most commonly preserved post-cranial elements in the platyrrhine
fossil record. Talar morphology can provide information about postural adaptations because it …

Platyrrhines are a diverse group of primates that presently occupy a broad range of tropical-equatorial
environments in the Americas. However, most of the fossil platyrrhine species of …

A well‐preserved calcaneus referrable to Proteopithecus sylviae from the late Eocene
Quarry L‐41 in the Fayum Depression, Egypt, provides new evidence relevant to this taxon's …

Scientific study of lemurs, a group of primates found only on Madagascar, is crucial for
understanding primate evolution. Unfortunately, lemurs are among the most endangered animals …

. We describe a well-preserved humerus of Homunculus patagonicus, a stem platyrrhine from
the late early Miocene of the Santa Cruz Formation, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The …

The extant radiation of Neotropical primates, the platyrrhines, occupy a great variety of ecological
niches in the tropical forests of Central and South America. This diversity includes large…
