测量灵长类长骨的横截面结构属性的一个原因是定义描述骨骼对不同生物力学环境的适应性的力学相关特征复合体。当比较具有不同姿势和运动行为的同类物种时,这可以有效地实现。本文比较了三个行为不同的猕猴物种的股骨和肱骨的横截面几何形状,以此作为定义这种模式的基础。在标准解剖平面上计算了短尾猴、恒河猴、恒河猴在标准解剖平面上的5个位置的横截面惯性矩。数据表明,“桶形”股骨与长长的四肢和较小的身体尺寸的行为有关。这可能与跳跃行为有关,但不限于此。数据还表明,在陆地环境中生活大量时间的灵长类动物,其股骨和肱骨的结构刚性比那些更限于在树上环境中攀登的灵长类动物的单位体重更大。
One reason to measure cross-sectional structural properties of primate long bones is to define mechanically relevant complexes of traits that describe the adaptation of bone to different biomechanical environments. This can be effectively accomplished when congeneric species having different postural and locomotor behaviors are compared. This paper compares the cross-sectional geometry of the femur and humerus in three behaviorally different macaque species as a basis for defining such patterns. Cross-sectional moments of inertia in the standard anatomical planes were calculated at five locations along the diaphyses of the femur and humerus in Macaca fascicularis, M. nemestrina, and M. mulatta. The data suggest that the "barrel-shaped" femur is associated with behaviors for which long limbs and small body size are an asset. This may be associated with, but is not restricted to, leaping behaviors. The data also suggest that structural rigidity of the femur and humerus is greater per unit body weight in primates that spend significant amounts of time in terrestrial environments than in those that are more restricted to climbing in arboreal environments.
