Limb-Bone Development of Seymouriamorphs: Implications for the Evolution of Growth Strategy in Stem Amniotes
Tetrapod life on land was the result of a lengthy process, the final steps of which resulted in full independence of amniotic tetrapods from the aquatic environment. Developmental strategies, including growth rate and the attainment of sexual maturity, played a major role in this transition. Early a...
