Many primates change their locomotor behavior as they mature from infancy to adulthood. Here we investigate how long bone cross‐sectional geometry in Pan, Gorilla, Pongo, Hylobatidae, and Macaca varies in shape and form over ontogeny, including whether specific diaphyseal cross sections exhibit signals of periosteal adaptation or canalization.

灵长类长骨的个体发育和形态变化反映了大小和行为的信号

许多灵长类动物从婴儿期到成年期都会改变其运动行为。在这里，我们研究了Pan，大猩猩，Pongo，Hylobatidae和Macaca的骨横截面几何形状在个体发育过程中的形状和形式有多大变化，包括特定的干phy骨横截面是否显示了骨膜适应或管腔化的信号。
