Although both groups exhibit very similar chondrogenic patterns of the tarsus, only the amphibian pattern is preserved through osteogenesis. |
At 2000 h every day, chicks were weighed on the precision balance, and their tarsus length measured by using a pair of calipers. |
This can be shown electrophysiologically by accelerating the tarsus at small amplitudes and variable frequency. |
In this pattern the tarsus of diadectids most closely approximates the lacertilian mesotarsal joint in structure and probable function. |
Before experiments began, we took standard morphometrics of wing chord length, culmen, tarsus, tail length, and body mass. |
Apart from a fragmentary metatarsal, the tarsus and pes are not preserved in this specimen. |
