- W2497409519 abstract "Extinct lemurs exhibit tremendous heterogeneity in hand morphology, largely reflecting differences in locomotor behavior. While no extinct lemur can be described as exclusively arboreal or exclusively terrestrial, the Archaeolemuridae were likely highly terrestrial, the Megaladapidae were slow, vertical climbers, and the Palaeopropithecidae were highly suspensory. The more terrestrial archaeolemurids had short, stubby hands, while the more arboreal megaladapids and palaeopropithecids had long (or very long) hands. But variation extends well beyond differences in digit and overall hand length. The archaeolemurids show adaptations for extended, pronated, and neutral hand postures, while the others show adaptations for ulnar deviation in climbing and suspension, as well as adaptations for digital flexion (a deeper carpal tunnel and greater phalangeal curvature, particularly in the Palaeopropithecidae). Other peculiar hand adaptations, some unique among primates, appear in some of Madagascar’s extinct lemurs. Here we examine hand morphology both within and among lemur families, comparing the extinct lemurs to their closest extant relatives, and we ask to what degree the differences we observe reflect phylogenetic relationships." @default.
