Metatarsal fusion resisted bending as jerboas (Dipodidae) transitioned from quadrupedal to bipedal
Hind limbs undergo dramatic changes in loading conditions during the transition from quadrupedal to bipedal locomotion. For example, the most early diverging bipedal jerboas (Rodentia: Dipodidae) are some of the smallest mammals in the world, with body masses that range between 2–4 g. The larger jer...
