Comparative limb proportions reveal differential locomotor morphofunctions of alligatoroids and crocodyloids
Although two major clades of crocodylians (Alligatoroidea and Crocodyloidea) were split during the Cretaceous period, relatively few morphological and functional differences between them have been known. In addition, interaction of multiple morphofunctional systems that differentiated their ecology...
