- W2031569685 abstract "Recently it was reported that limb joint surface areas scale positively allometrically with body weight in anthropoid primates. This was attributed to the biomechanics of weight bearing: larger animals must require relatively larger joint surfaces to withstand relatively greater weight-related stresses on the joints. Our data on humeral and femoral geometry and joint surface areas in 73 species belonging to six mammalian orders (including primates) demonstrate that positive allometry of joint surface areas is not a general phenomenon for mammals and cannot have its basis among Anthropoidea in the biomechanics of weight bearing. We argue that, to the extent that positive allometric scaling of joint surface areas occurs in anthropoid primates, it is an artifact of differences in positional behaviour among distinct taxonomic groups that also happen to differ widely in body weight. Furthermore, we argue that, among mammals ranging in body size from sportive lemurs to giant pandas, functionally similar groups tend to exhibit: (1) linear dimensions (especially diameters and shaft circumferences) that scale in direct proportion to each other; and (2) joint surface areas that scale in direct proportion to the squares of linear dimensions and to the 2/3 power of body mass. In other words, limb bones of functionally similar animals fit the theoretical model of geometric similarity (or skeletal isometry). Differences in relative sizes of joint surface areas are related to differences in force transmission and movement potential among functionally distinct groups of animals." @default.
