Biomechanics of Mustelids
Mustelid carnivores show an enormous variety of locomotion modes that are reflected in anatomical features. It is the aim of the project to correlate locomotion modes and anatomical features in order to find compliances that are applicable for the reconstruction of the evolution of carnivoran loctomotor modes in general.
