Functional and behavioral variation in intrinsic hand and foot digit proportions in primates The relative elongation of the digits on the autopods has long been considered as an adaptation for an arboreal lifestyle shared by several tetrapods.…

New paper on #phalanges and #hands and #feet proportions in #primates. Just published in #OA in #JHE. Great collaboration with la Citadelle of Besançon (Museum) and the zoological and botanical park of Mulhouse, and with S. Toussaint as a first author.
