Figure 6From: A three-dimensional analysis of the morphological evolution and locomotor behaviour of the carnivoran hind limbA three-dimensional analysis of hind limb evolution in carnivores. A, main bones of the hind limb analysed in this paper. B, Landmarks used in the morphometric analyses of the hind limb bones (for detailed descriptions see Additional file 3: Table S4). C, key morphological features in the carnivoran pelvis of. D, main morphological structures in the femur and tibia of carnivorans. The muscle origins (red) and insertions (purple) of the main muscles involved in locomotion are also shown for each hind limb bone. (Anatomical keys were obtained from Barone [56] and Homberger and Walker [57]).Back to article page
