Digital volumetric modeling reveals unique body plan experimentation in the Devonian tetrapod Ichthyostega

Summary: The water-to-land transition in tetrapods promoted a radical shift in locomotor function and kinematic patterns, from axial- to appendicular-dominated propulsion and from buoyancy- to musculoskeletal-driven support. Many of these facets of locomotion are dictated by an animal’s whole-body m...
