DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20968
Abstract: Several terrestrial vertebrate clades include lineages that have evolved nearly exclusive use of aquatic habitats. In many cases, such transitions are associated with the evolution of flattened limbs that are used to swim via dorsoventral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.am2023-3215
Abstract: Introduction: Malignant neoplasms of the limb bones are rare. To our knowledge, there are few studies that analyze characteristics of these patients and reasons why they present to an emergency department (ED). Methods: We utilized… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.51581
Abstract: The production of blood cells (haematopoiesis) occurs in the limb bones of most tetrapods but is absent in the fin bones of ray-finned fish. When did long bones start producing blood cells? Recent hypotheses suggested… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5216
Abstract: 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… read more here.
