Evolution of scapula size and shape in Carnivora: locomotor habits and differential shape scaling

This study analyzes scapula shape variation in 101 carnivoran species to determine how size, phylogeny, and locomotor habits influence morphology, finding differential scaling and locomotor indicators.

Scaling pattern of the carnivoran hind limb: Main deviations from a conservative pattern.

The paper analyzes the scaling pattern of the carnivoran hind limb across 429 specimens, finding deviations from geometric similarity and emphasizing the role of phylogenetic relatedness over locomotor adaptations.

Scaling pattern of the carnivoran forelimb: Locomotor types, differential scaling and thoughts on a dying similarity

The paper analyzes the scaling patterns of carnivoran forelimb bones across species, finding deviations from similarity hypotheses and highlighting the importance of phylogenetic relatedness in scaling studies.
