Quantitative biomechanical assessment of locomotor capabilities of the stem archosaur Euparkeria capensis

Quantitative biomechanical assessment of locomotor capabilities of the stem archosaur Euparkeria capensis

Birds and crocodylians are the only remaining members of Archosauria (ruling reptiles) and they exhibit major differences in posture and gait, which are polar opposites in terms of locomotor strategies. Their broader lineages (Avemetatarsalia and Pseudosuchia) evolved a multitude of locomotor modes...
