Reconstructing Behavior in the Primate Fossil Record
Vertical Climbing and Intermembral Allometry In a consideration of the
biomechanics of vertical climbing in arboreal taxa lacking claws, Cartmill (1974,
1985) developed a model to explain the ratio of forelimb-to-hindlimb length as a
means of ...
2
The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates
It is of some value to compare the brachial, crural, and intermembral indices of
two of the best known early Tertiary postcranial skeletons, those of the late
Paleocene Plesiadapis (see Simpson 1935, and composite figure in Simons
1964b, ...

Tarsiers: Past, Present, and Future
The intermembral index measures the length of the long bones of the fore- limb (
humerus and radius) relative to those of the hindlimb (femur and tibia) , and
clearly separates the four leaping families (Lepilemuridae, Indriidae, Galagidae,
and ...
Patricia C. Wright, Elwyn L. Simons, Sharon Gursky, 2003
Traditionally, many of these differences in adult postcranial proportions have
been characterized through use of simple ratios such as the intermembral,
brachial, and crural indices (e.g., Mollison, 191 1; Napier and Napier. 1967;
Schultz, 1930 ...

Bibliografia da prosa medieval em língua portuguesa: subsídios
Bivariate plot of intermembral index versus body weight. The overall trend in
primates is for this index to increase as body size increases, although the
allometric basis of this trend differs among different primate taxa. Two suspensory
groups ...
Isabel Vilares Cepeda, 1995

Human Evolution: An Introduction to Mans Adaptations
Only one fossil discovery of Australopithecus supplies even some of the
necessary documentation to calculate limb proportions — the A. afarensis
skeleton called Lucy. The bones, though not all complete, broadly indicate an
intermembral ...
7
The Smallest Anthropoids: The Marmoset/Callimico Radiation
It is characterized by highly elongated hindlimbs reduced head-body length,
moderately sized forelimbs, and the lowest intermembral index among all
callitrichid species (Table 14.1; Garber and Leigh 2001; Davis, 2002). In contrast,
Cebuella ...

Primate Anatomy: An Introduction
They measure about 45 cm in body length, with tails 50 cm long. Their
intermembral index is 84, and their locomotion is predominantly quadrupedal. In
contrast to other guenons, Allen's swamp monkey females have distinct estrous
swellings, ...

The First Humans: Origin and Early Evolution of the Genus Homo
Human Variation in Interlimb Proportions The humerofemoral index (defined
above) is highly correlated with another interlimb metric, the intermembral index (
100 × [humerus + radius]/[femur + tibia]). Figure 9.1 is a bivariate plot of these two

Ban Chiang, a Prehistoric Village Site in Northeast ...
The intermembral index, a comparison of arm length (humeral plus radial lengths
) to leg length (femoral plus tibial lengths), demonstrates differences in overall
limb proportions, such as those between primates and humans reflecting ...
