The GRAVIBONE project investigates how large animals, known for their weight-bearing adaptations, develop unique bone structures. By analyzing both modern and fossil species, it aims to understand the relationship between bone anatomy and mechanical constraints, enhancing our knowledge of vertebrate evolution and biome…
Heavy animals, said to be graviportal, are under strong mechanical constraints.
Their skeleton, notably their limb bones, show convergent morpho-functional adaptations that surprisingly remain very poorly studied.
Understanding the convergent and specific adaptations of bone to weight bearing in taxa with various morphologies, sizes, habitats and locomotor behaviours is essential to understand how bone responds to biomechanical constraints.
In palaeontology, it will allow determining how giant f…
