This project explores the evolutionary transition of limbs in tetrapods using advanced imaging techniques. By analyzing the microarchitecture of limb bones, it aims to uncover the multifunctional roles of limbs in locomotion and blood cell production, enhancing our understanding of vertebrate evolution.
Tetrapods, i.e. four-limbed animals, are the only backboned animals to have truly conquered the land, and have achieved worldwide distribution in a wide range of environments.
Several fish groups have attempted to colonise terrestrial habitats (e.g. mudskippers among ray-finned fish; lungfish among lobe-finned fish) but only tetrapods were able to initiate a large-scale radiation.
What is the key to this success?
Our limb skeletons have obviously played a crucial part, by allowing us to walk and…
