Kaczmarek E, Li E, Capano J, Falkingham P, Gatesy S, Brainerd E, et al.
J Exp Biol
. 2025 Jan;
228(4).
PMID: 39835821
The X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) workflow enables precise and accurate measurement of the 3D skeletal kinematics underlying animal behaviors. The dynamic endocast method built upon that workflow to...

PMID: 39809325
Dinosaur locomotor biomechanics are of major interest. Locomotion of an animal affects many, if not most, aspects of life reconstruction, including behaviour, performance, ecology and appearance. Yet locomotion is one...

Science
. 2024 Nov;
386(6725):1004-1010.
PMID: 39607911
For much of the Pliocene and Pleistocene, multiple hominin species coexisted in the same regions of eastern and southern Africa. Due to the limitations of the skeletal fossil record, questions...

Hand and foot morphology maps invasion of terrestrial environments by pterosaurs in the mid-Mesozoic
Smyth R, Breithaupt B, Butler R, Falkingham P, Unwin D
Curr Biol
. 2024 Oct;
34(21):4894-4907.e3.
PMID: 39368469
Pterosaurs, the first true flying vertebrates, played a crucial role in Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems. However, our understanding of their ability to move around on the ground and, more broadly, their...

J Exp Biol
. 2024 Sep;
227(21).
PMID: 39263739
Our current understanding of human gait is mostly based on studies using hard, level surfaces in a laboratory environment. However, humans navigate a wide range of different substrates every day,...

Am J Biol Anthropol
. 2024 Jan;
183(4):e24897.
PMID: 38173148
Fossil footprints (i.e., tracks) were believed to document arch anatomical evolution, although our recent work has shown that track arches record foot kinematics instead. Analyses of track arches can thereby...

R Soc Open Sci
. 2023 Sep;
10(9):231091.
PMID: 37771967
Besides bones, fossil tracks and trackways are important sources of knowledge about dinosaur palaeobiology. Here, we report three new tracksites from two different synclines in the Imilchil area, Central High...

PMID: 37351494
The traditional story of the evolution of the horse (family Equidae) has been in large part about the evolution of their feet. How did modern horses come to have a...

PMID: 37234492
Trackways provide essential data on the biogeographic distribution, locomotion and behaviour of dinosaurs. Cretaceous dinosaur trackways are abundant in the Americas, Europe, North Africa and East Asia, but are less...

. 2023 Jan;

PMID: 36604550
The longitudinal arch of the human foot is viewed as a pivotal adaptation for bipedal walking and running. Fossil footprints from Laetoli, Tanzania, and Ileret, Kenya, are believed to provide...
