A new model of forelimb ecomorphology for predicting the ancient habitats of fossil turtles

Abstract Various morphological proxies have been used to infer habitat preferences among fossil turtles and their early ancestors, but most are tightly linked to phylogeny, thereby minimizing their predictive power. One particularly widely used model incorporates linear measurements of the forelimb...
