Callistoe vincei nov. gen., nov. sp. is a new South American carnivorous marsupial (Proborhyaenidae, Borhyaenoidea) from Salta Province (Argentina). It is preliminarily described and its phylogenetic relationships with other borhyaenoids are analyzed. The holotype is a complete skull with almost complete postcranial skeleton (missing the pelvis and the tail). It is from the Lumbrera Formation (Early Eocene of northwestern Argentina). It represents the most complete proborhyaenid specimen ever discovered and one of the best-preserved borhyaenoid. In the present paper we analyze the major cranial and dental features, the essential elements to compare C. vincei to Arminiheringia auceta, a Casamayoran proborhyaenid of Patagonia. C. vincei is smaller, much more gracile; its skull is narrower; its lower canines are not procumbent; the metacrista of M3 is U-shaped; the postmetacrista of M4 is present and the mandibular symphysis is shorter. This new material allows reconsideration of some dental traits proposed to diagnose the Proborhyaenidae such as the number of incisors and the open-rooted canines. 相似文献

The earliest eutherian mammals were small-bodied locomotor generalists with a forelimb morphology that strongly resembles that of extant rats. Understanding the kinematics of the humerus, radius, and ulna of extant rats can inform and constrain hypotheses concerning typical posture and mobility in early eutherian forelimbs. The locomotion of Rattus norvegicus has been extensively studied, but the three-dimensional kinematics of the bones themselves remains under-explored. Here, for the first time, we use markerless XROMM (Scientific Rotoscoping) to explore the three-dimensional long bone movements in Rattus norvegicus during a normal, symmetrical gait (walking). Our data show a basic kinematic profile that agrees with previous studies on rats and other small therians: rats maintain a crouched forelimb posture throughout the step cycle, and the ulna is confined to flexion/extension in a parasagittal plane. However, our three-dimensional data illuminate long-axis rotation (LAR) movements for both the humerus and the radius for the first time. Medial LAR of the humerus throughout stance maintains an adducted elbow with a caudally-facing olecranon process, which in turn maintains a cranially-directed manus orientation (pronation). The radius also shows significant LAR correlated with manus pronation and supination. Moreover, we report that elbow flexion and manus orientation are correlated in R. norvegicus: as the elbow angle becomes more acute, manus supination increases. Our data also suggest that manus pronation and orientation in R. norvegicus rely on a divided system of labor between the ulna and radius. Given that the radius follows the flexion and extension trajectory of the ulna, it must rotate at the elbow (on the capitulum) so that during the stance phase its distal end lies medial to ulna, ensuring that the manus remains pronated while the forelimb is supporting the body. We suggest that forelimb posture and kinematics in Juramaia, Eomaia, and other basal eutherians were grossly similar to those of rats, and that humerus and radius LAR may have always played a significant role in forelimb and manus posture in small eutherian mammals. 相似文献

The postcranial skeleton of the Permian dicynodont Diictodon is described, major skeletal muscles restored and functional aspects of the skeleton analyzed. The humerus was caudolaterally oriented and articulated in a near sagittal plane. This reduced the transverse component of thrust during locomotion. Throughout the stride, the femur, which is relatively longer than the humerus, was held in a parasagittal position. Diictodon probably had a hindlimb gait similar to the high walk of crocodilians. Comparisons between several dicynodont genera, including Diictodon, reveal considerable variation in the limb orientations, articulations, posture and gait among these taxa. Expansion of the preacetabular iliac process and the overall iliac length with respect to its height among these dicynodonts may be correlated with the increase in the number of the sacral vertebrae. Diictodon does not show the cranial and forelimb modifications suitable for digging as seen in Cistecephalus, Kawingasaurus and extant burrowers such as a broad skull, rounded occiput for considerable neck musculature, a robust humerus and a prominent olecranon process. However, a cylindrical body, short limbs with well–developed limb elevators and depressors and a long wide manus with long, blunt claws probably helped in digging. In addition, the hindlimb with well–developed retractors and short, blunt claws participated in soil removal. The caudolaterally oriented humerus and a laterally flexible vertebral column facilitated movement in the narrow confines of the burrows. Forelimb articulation and morphology indicate that its method of digging was probably rotation–thrust, where humeral excursion and not forearm extension played a dominant role. The close associations of articulated paired skeletons of adult individuals suggest that Diictodon was gregarious. A large number of unconnected burrow–casts in a small area of about 500 m2, indicates that although the animals lived close together, they did not share a single large communal structure. 相似文献

The forelimbs of anteaters play a major role in obtainment of food, defense, and locomotion. The greatly enlarged claws on the manus are used for ripping open insect nests and insect-infested wood; the claws also serve as the animals' only defensive weapons, since they lack teeth. Specialization of the claws for these functions has also had a substantial effect on the ways in which the forelimb is used for posture and locomotion. Modifications of the forelimb in the anteater Tamandua include the following. Attachments of the medial head of triceps are rearranged so as to greatly increase capability for powerful flexion of the claws. Ability to flex the elbow and to retract the humerus is also augmented; these movements would assist digital flexion in applying traction with the claws to material being torn away during food procurement. This traction can be supplemented by a variety of powerful side-to-side and/or twisting movements of the hand, brought about primarily by axial rotation of the upper arm and forearm. The digital joints are reinforced to resist the deviational and torsional loading to which the digits would be subjected during such movements. The morphological modifications of the forelimb in Tamandua are discussed in terms of how they affect the mechanical capabilities of the limb, what functions the limb is best designed to perform, how they may relate to what little is known about the specialized behavior of this animal, and what behavioral predictions may be made based on mechanical design. 相似文献

When giant water bugs (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae) encounter prey animals that are larger than they are themselves, they first hook the claw of their raptorial legs onto the animal, and then use all their legs to pin it. The claws of the raptorial legs in giant water bugs play an important role in catching larger prey, but the relationship between the claws, body lengths of predators, and prey size has not been fully investigated. To elucidate the functioning of claws in catching prey, we investigated prey body size relative to predator size in nymphs of two sympatric belostomatid giant water bug species, the vertebrate eater Kirkaldyia (=Lethocerus) deyrolli Vuillefroy and the invertebrate eater Appasus japonicus Vuillefroy, captured in rice fields. The younger nymphs of K. deyrolli caught preys that were larger than themselves, whereas those of A. japonicus caught preys that were smaller. Younger nymphs of K. deyrolli had claws that were curved more sharply than those of A. japonicus. The more curved claws of younger nymphs of K. deyrolli probably hook more easily onto larger vertebrates and thus this shape represents an adaptation for acquiring such prey. 相似文献

In this note we reassess the position of putative pedal phalanges of some South American noasaurid theropods (Abelisauroidea).
Noasaurids were considered as to be distinctive abelisauroids with a peculiar “sickle claw” on the second toe of the foot,
convergently developed with that of deinonychosaurians. Among noasaurids, the Argentinean species Noasaurus leali (latest Cretaceous) and Ligabueino andesi (Early Cretaceous) are known from incomplete specimens, including dissarticulated non-ungueal phalanges, and, in N. leali, a claw. A detailed overview of these elements indicates that the supposed raptorial claw of the second pedal digit of N. leali actually belongs to the first or second finger of the manus, and the putative pedal non-ungual phalanges of both genera also
pertain to the manus. Thus, the new interpretations of noasaurid pedal morphology blur the distinctions between Noasauridae
and Velocisauridae proposed by previous authors. Finally, we suggest, on the basis of phalangeal and metacarpal morphology,
that abelisaurids probably lost their manual claws by means of the loss of function of the HOXA11 and HOXD11 genes. Thus Noasauridae
differs from Abelisauridae in retaining plesiomorphic long forelimbs with well developed claws, as occurs plesiomorphically
in most basal theropods (e.g., Coelophysis). 相似文献

The tracks ascribed to pterosaurs from the Late Jurassic limestones at Crayssac, France, must be pterosaurian because the manus prints are so far outside those of the pes, the pes print is four times longer than wide, and the manus prints appear to preserve distinct traces of a posteromedially directed wing-finger. These tracks are different in important ways from previously described Pteraichnus trackways, which have been variably considered pterosaurian, crocodilian, or indeterminate. No Pteraichnus (sensu stricto: those not from Crayssac) tracks have diagnostic features of pterosaurs and in none can a complete phalangeal or digital formula be reconstructed; however, all published Pteraichnidae tracks fulfill the criteria of poor preservation, and some have some diagnostic features of crocodile tracks. Reconstructions of pterosaurs walking in pteraichnid tracks do not fit those tracks well, but crocodiles do. In contrast, the Crayssac tracks demonstrate the erect stance and parasagittal gait previously reconstructed for pterosaurs. They also demonstrate that the footfall pattern was not as in typical reptiles (LH-RF-RH-LF), but that the manus must have been raised before the next forward step of the ipselateral foot (LH-LF-RH-RF), suggesting that the quadrupedal pattern was secondary. The metatarsus in pterosaurs was set low at the beginning of a stride, as it is in crocodilians and basal dinosaurs. The diagnosis of the Ichnofamily Pteraichnidae comprises features of possible crocodilian trackmakers, but not of possible pterosaurian trackmakers. Trackways considered for attribution to pterosaurs should show (1) manus prints up to three interpedal widths from midline of body, and always lateral to pes prints, (2) pes prints four times longer than wide at the metatarso-phalangeal joint, and (3) penultimate phalanges longest among those of the pes. 相似文献

The aim of the present contribution is to describe large felipedid footprints from a new ichnological site from the Late Pleistocene of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The prints are referred as the new ichnospecies Felipeda miramarensis nov. ichnosp. Based on size and morphology, this new ichnotaxon may have been produced by the large machairodontine felid Smilodon populator. Track analysis indicates that the producer of the tracks had fully retractile claws, a plantigrade feet, and lacked strong supination capabilities on pes and manus. The size and depth differences between manus and pes prints indicate that the producer had notably robust anterior limbs. If correctly assigned, the new ichnospecies reinforces the idea that Smilodon was an ambush predatory mammal. 相似文献

Type specimens of the sauropod ichnotaxon Chuxiongpus changlingensis, which was later reassigned to Brontopodus changlingensis, as well as the theropod ichnotaxon Yunnanpus huangcaoensis, both from the Cretaceous Jiangdihe Formation of Yunnan Province, are redescribed in order to document their morphological features. Both, but particularly Y. huangcaoensis, which is considered now a nomen dubium, were originally based on poorly preserved material. Nevertheless, the specimens document a saurischian dominated biota that existed during the deposition of the Jiangdihe Formation from which no skeletal remains are known. B. changlingensis trackways were left by small sauropods that show consistent partial or complete overprint of the manus by the pes. This pattern makes it difficult to calculate manus length, and heteropody can be only estimated. 相似文献

The hypertrophied manual claws and modified manus of megaraptoran theropods represent an unusual morphological adaptation among carnivorous dinosaurs. The skeleton of Australovenator wintonensis from the Cenomanian of Australia is among the most complete of any megaraptorid. It presents the opportunity to examine the range of motion of its forearm and the function of its highly modified manus. This provides the basis for behavioural inferences, and comparison with other Gondwanan theropod groups. Digital models created from computed tomography scans of the holotype reveal a humerus range of motion that is much greater than Allosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Tyrannosaurus but similar to that of the dromaeosaurid Bambiraptor. During flexion, the radius was forced distally by the radial condyle of the humerus. This movement is here suggested as a mechanism that forced a medial movement of the wrist. The antebrachium possessed a range of motion that was close to dromaeosaurids; however, the unguals were capable of hyper-extension, in particular manual phalanx I-2, which is a primitive range of motion characteristic seen in allosaurids and Dilophosaurus. During flexion, digits I and II slightly converge and diverge when extended which is accentuated by hyperextension of the digits in particular the unguals. We envision that prey was dispatched by its hands and feet with manual phalanx I-2 playing a dominant role. The range of motion analysis neither confirms nor refutes current phylogenetic hypotheses with regards to the placement of Megaraptoridae; however, we note Australovenator possessed, not only a similar forearm range of motion to some maniraptorans and basal coelurosaurs, but also similarities with Tetanurans (Allosauroids and Dilophosaurus). 相似文献

The effect of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) on muscle co-activation (MCO) is not known though MCO has been extensively studied. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of PCL creep on MCO and on joint moment around the knee. Twelve males and twelve females volunteered for this study. PCL creep was estimated via tibial posterior displacement which was elicited by a 20 kg dumbbell hanged on horizontal shank near patella for 10 min. Electromyography activity from both rectus femoris and biceps femoris as well as muscle strength on the right thigh was recorded synchronically during knee isokinetic flexion–extension performance in speed of 60 deg/s as well as 120 deg/s on a dynamometer before and after PCL creep. A one-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used to evaluate the effect of creep, gender and speed. The results showed that significant tibial posterior displacement was found (p = 0.01) in both male and female groups. No significant increase of joint moment was found in flexion as well as in extension phase in both female and male groups. There was a significant effect of speed (p = 0.036) on joint moment in extension phase. Co-activation index (CI) decreased significantly (p = 0.049) in extension phase with a significant effect of gender (p ⩽ 0.001). It was concluded that creep developed in PCL due to static posterior load on the proximal tibia could significantly elicit the increase of the activation of agonist muscles but with no compensation from the antagonist in flexion as well as in extension phase. The creep significantly elicited the decrease of the antagonist–agonist CI in extension phase. MCO in females was reduced significantly in extension phase. It was suggested that PCL creep might be one of risk factors to the knee injury in sports activity. 相似文献

All carnivorans retract and protract their claws. In felids and some viverrids the claws of digits II through V of both the manus and pes have a larger arc of rotation than those of other carnivorans; the claws retract to the lateral side of the middle phalanx rather than onto its dorsal surface as in most other carnivorans. This condition should be termed hyper-retraction. Morphological features of the middle and distal (ungual) phalanges that have been purported to be necessary for hyper-retraction in felids vary considerably among digits within the manus and pes. These features include the lateral projection of the distal head and the asymmetry of the shaft of the middle phalanx, and the oblique orientation of the articular surface on the distal phalanx. None of these features is necessary in every instance for hyperretraction, and some of the variation in these features is associated instead with protraction. Differences among digits in the orientation of the articular surface on the distal phalanx are associated with differences in the degree to which the claws must move laterally to rotate from the protracted to the retracted position. Differences in the orientation of the distal head on the middle phalanx are associated with the spreading of the claws during protraction. The manual claws are hook-shaped, whereas the pedal claws are more blade-like; this morphological difference is associated with differences in function between the manus and pes. In the manus the medial claws have a larger radius of curvature and a smaller angle of arc as compared to the more lateral claws; in the pes, the claws on digits III and IV have larger radii of curvature and smaller angles of arc. Digit I of the manus lacks the hyper-retraction mechanism; nonetheless, this digit shares many of the attributes that are associated with this mechanism. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Casts of the foraging tunnels of eastern American moles ( Scalopus aquaticus ) show impressions from the moles' mani along the lateral walls. The number of discernable impressions ranges from one to five, each showing two or three long, flat, blunt-ended claws. The size and shape of the impressions matches the claws on the paddle-like manus of S. aquaticus . The impressions are spaced at regular intervals of about two cm, and probably represent points at which the mole pushed off from the tunnel wall with alternating laterad digging strokes. Tunnel width generally exceeds height by about 15%, reflecting the laterally compressed body of the mole. These tunnel casts help show that clear, recognizable traces can be preserved in loose, humic soils, and demonstrate the type of traces left by a “lateral-thrust” digger with fully sprawled stance, such as S. aquaticus . Identification of traces on the tunnels of living moles may be applied to the fossil record, in which fossilized burrows with similar marks could be attributed to extinct burrowing moles or mole-like locomotion. 相似文献

Cycling power decreases substantially during a maximal cycling trial of just 30 s. It is not known whether movement patterns and joint powers produced at each joint decrease to a similar extent or if each joint exhibits an individual fatigue profile. Changes in movement patterns and/or joint powers associated with overall task fatigue could arise from several different mechanisms or from a complex interplay of these mechanisms. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the changes in movement and power at each joint during a fatiguing cycling trial. Thirteen trained cyclists performed a 30 s maximal cycling trial on an isokinetic cycle ergometer at 120 rpm. Pedal forces and limb kinematics were recorded. Joint powers were calculated using a sagittal plane inverse dynamics model and averaged for the initial, middle, and final three second intervals of the trial, and normalized to initial values. Relative ankle plantar flexion power was significantly less than all other joint actions at the middle interval (51±5% of initial power; p=0.013). Relative ankle plantar flexion power for the final interval (37±3%) was significantly less than the relative knee flexion and hip extension power (p=0.010). Relative knee extension power (41±5%) was significantly less than relative hip extension power (55±4%) during the final three second interval (p=0.045). Knee flexion power (47±5%) did not differ from relative hip extension power (p=0.06). These changes in power were accompanied by a decrease in time spent extending by each joint with fatigue (i.e., decreased duty cycle, p<0.03). While central mechanisms may have played a role across all joints, because the ankle fatigued more than the hip and knee joints, either peripheral muscle fatigue or changes in motor control strategies were identified as the potential mechanisms for joint-specific fatigue during a maximal 30 s cycling trial. 相似文献

Short-range stiffness (SRS) is a mechanical property of muscles that is characterized by a disproportionally high stiffness within a short length range during both lengthening and shortening movements. SRS is attributed to the cross-bridges and is beneficial for stabilizing a joint during, e.g., postural conditions. Thus far, SRS has been estimated mainly on isolated mammalian muscles. In this study we presented a method to estimate SRS in vivo in the human wrist joint.SRS was estimated at joint level in the angular domain (N m/rad) for both flexion and extension rotations of the human wrist in nine healthy subjects. Wrist rotations of 0.15 rad at 3 rad/s were imposed at eight levels of voluntary contraction ranging from 0 to 2.1 N m by means of a single axis manipulator.Flexion and extension SRS of the wrist joint was estimated consistently and accurately using a dynamic nonlinear model that was fitted onto the recorded wrist torque. SRS increased monotonically with torque in a way consistent with previous studies on isolated muscles.It is concluded that in vivo measurement of joint SRS represents the population of coupled cross-bridges in wrist flexor and extensor muscles. In its current form, the presented technique can be used for clinical applications in many neurological and muscular diseases where altered joint torque and (dissociated) joint stiffness are important clinical parameters. 相似文献

We have combined kinematic and electromyogram (EMG) analysis of running Blaberus discoidalis to examine how middle and hind leg kinematics vary with running speed and how the fast depressor coxa (Df) and fast extensor
tibia (FETi) motor neurons affect kinematic parameters. In the range 2.5–10 Hz, B. discoidalis increases step frequency by altering the joint velocity and by reducing the time required for the transition from flexion
to extension. For both Df and FETi the timing of recruitment coincides with the maximal frequency seen for the respective
slow motor neurons. Df is first recruited at the beginning of coxa-femur (CF) extension. FETi is recruited in the latter half
of femur-tibia (FT) extension during stance. Single muscle potentials produced by these fast motor neurons do not have pronounced
effects on joint angular velocity during running. The transition from CF flexion to extension was abbreviated in those cycles
with a Df potential occurring during the transition. One effect of Df activity during running may be to phase shift the beginning
of joint extension so that the transition is sharpened. FETi is associated with greater FT extension at higher running speeds
and may be necessary to overcome high joint torques at extended FT joint angles.

The avian wing possesses the ability to synchronize flexion or extension of the elbow and wrist joints automatically. Skeletal and muscular mechanisms are involved in generating this phenomenon. The drawing-parallels action of the radius and ulna coordinates the movements of the forearm with the carpus. Movement of the radius along the length of the forearm isnot dependent on the shape disparity between the dorsal and ventral condyles of the humerus, nor is it generated by the shape of the dorsal condyle itself. Instead, shifting of the radius toward the wrist occurs during humeroulnar flexion when the radius, being pushed by muscles toward the ulna, is deflected off theIncisura radialis toward the wrist. Movement of the radius toward the elbow occurs during the latter stages of humeroulnar extension when, as the dorsal condyle of the humerus and the articular surface of the ulna's dorsal cup roll apart, the radius gets pulled by the humerus and its ligaments away from the wrist. Synchronization of the forearm with the manus is accomplished by twojoint muscles and tendons.M. extensor metacarpi radialis and the propatagial tendons act to extend the manus in unison with the forearm, whileM. extensor metacarpi ulnaris helps these limb segments flex simultaneously.M. flexor carpi ulnaris, in collaboration with the drawing-parallels mechanisms, flexes the carpus automatically when the elbow is flexed, thereby circumducting the manus from the plane of the wing toward the body. In a living bird, these skeletal and muscular coordinating mechanisms may function to automate the internal kinematics of the wing during flapping flight. A mechanized wing may also greatly facilitate the initial flight of fledgling birds. The coordinating mechanisms of the wing can be detected in a bird's osteology, thereby providing researchers with a new avenue by which to gauge the flight capabilities of avian fossil taxa. 相似文献

Feet of two-toed sloths (Choloepus) are long, narrow, hook-like appendages with only three functional digits, numbers II, III, and IV; Rays I and V are represented by metatarsals. Proximal phalanges of complete digits are little more than proximal and distal articulating surfaces. All interphalangeal joints are restricted, by interlocking surfaces, to flexion and extension. Ankle and transverse tarsal joints, however, allow extreme flexion and inversion of foot. Powerful digital flexion is augmented by several muscles from extensor compartment of leg. Intrinsic foot musculature is reduced to flexors and extensors but these, with the exception of lumbricals, are large and well developed. Choloepus uses its feet much like hooks with distal phalanges and covering claws forming the “hook” element. These hook-like appendages are seemingly best suited for supports less than 50 mm in diameter suggesting that two-toed sloths may prefer supports of this size in their natural habitat. 相似文献

A hypichnium of a manus imprint (preserved as plaster cast) indicates for the first time the presence of the large pterosaur ichnotaxon Purbeckopus cf. pentadactylus Delair, 1963 in the late Berriasian of northwest Germany. It is only the second record of Purbeckopus globally and the first pterosaur track from Germany. It provides evidence of a very large pterosaur (wingspan c. 6 m) in this area and from this time period not yet represented by skeletal remains. When compared with the English type material, the specimen exhibits some differences that are related mostly to different properties of the substrate on which both were left. These include, in the German track, an impression of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint of the wing finger, normally not present in pterosaur tracks. Also interesting is the rather blunt termination of the deeply impressed digits I–III, indicating rather short and blunt claws, which seem more suitable for walking than for grasping or climbing. The specimens of Purbeckopus in England and Germany occur in different environments: the English locality was situated close to a brackish lagoon, while the German site belongs to a limnic-deltaic system at the margin of a large, freshwater lake. 相似文献
