... between safety over efficiency extend to non-mammalian tetrapods ( Byrnes and Jayne, 2014 ). In light of these findings, we argue that anatomical features associated with climbing should primarily be characterized by autopodial adaptations to increase stability. Such mechanisms involve changes...

... are ancestral for gnathostomes during benthic walking and could be both lost and gained during subsequent gnathostome evolution. We were unable to reconstruct the presence/absence of asymmetrical gaits at the tetrapod, amniote, turtle and crocodilian nodes with certainty. The ability to adopt asymmetrical gaits...

... of moist paper towels, and maintained on a diet of crickets. To advance our knowledge of trunk muscle function in tetrapod locomotion,we examined the electromyographic activity of seven trunk muscles at two sites along the trunk of Ambystoma maculatum , during swimming and during trotting...

... of the hypaxial musculo-skeletal system. The various mechanisms by which the hypaxial musculo-skeletal system elicits breathing have received considerable attention and have been well characterized in tetrapods. In contrast, the role that this system plays in terrestrial locomotion is poorly understood...

...D. Carrier ABSTRACT The role that the hypaxial muscles play in locomotion has been largely ignored by biologists. In tetrapods, there are at least three possibilities. First, the hypaxial muscles might bend the trunk laterally to increase stride length. Second, they might stabilize the trunk...
