Ontogenetic scaling patterns and functional anatomy of the pelvic limb musculature in emus ( <i>Dromaius novaehollandiae</i> )

2014-12-03

Abstract excerpt

Emus ( Dromaius novaehollandiae ) are exclusively terrestrial, bipedal and cursorial ratites with some similar biomechanical characteristics to humans. Their growth rates are impressive as their body mass increases eighty-fold from hatching to adulthood whilst maintaining the same mode of locomotion throughout life. These ontogenetic characteristics stimulate biomechanical questions about the strategies that allo...
