A universal scaling relationship between body mass and proximal limb bone dimensions in quadrupedal terrestrial tetrapods
BACKGROUND: Body size is intimately related to the physiology and ecology of an organism. Therefore, accurate and consistent body mass estimates are essential for inferring numerous aspects of paleobiology in extinct taxa, and investigating large-scale evolutionary and ecological patterns in the his...
