The differentiated impacts and constraints of allometry, phylogeny, and environment on the ruminants’ ankle bone

Abstract The astragalus is a hinged bony organ common to many tetrapods. Several factors, including allometry, phylogeny, and environment, constrain its morphology. Due to the underlying risk of these factors being confounding, previous works have frequently highlighted the difficulty in discerning...
