Inner workings of the alligator ankle reveal the mechanistic origins of archosaur locomotor diversity
Major transformations in the locomotor system of archosaurs (a major clade of reptiles including birds, crocodiles, dinosaurs, and pterosaurs) were accompanied by significant modifications to ankle anatomy. How the evolution of such a complex multi‐joint structure is related to shifts in ankle funct...
