Digging the compromise: investigating the link between limb bone histology and fossoriality in the aardvark (Orycteropus afer)
Bone microstructure has long been known as a powerful tool to investigate lifestyle-related biomechanical constraints, and many studies have focused on identifying such constraints in the limb bones of aquatic or arboreal mammals in recent years. The limb bone microstructure of fossorial mammals, ho...
