Relative to the foundress, soldiers have an enlarged prothorax and fore femora, reduced wings and antennae, and a pale exoskeleton. |
|
The only bones that now survive from the excavation are four femora that were recovered from the south-eastern burial chamber. |
|
Severe injuries, involving the loss of tibiae, femora, and entire legs were rare but did occur in four exclusive and six nonexclusive pairs. |
|
There remain the frons the post-ocular patch, the pronotum, the hind femora and the abdominal tergites. |
|
They collected males and females during prelaying, laying, and postlaying and dissected femora and tibiotarsi from each bird. |
|
If Apatosaurus and Diplodocus were both low browsers, what potential advantages would be incurred from robust or gracile humeri and femora if walking on wet sediments? |
|
All femora, and especially the front pair, are provided with a strong tooth on the inner side. |
|
Many of the diplodocid femora examined were stored, mounted, or damaged in such a way that measurement of their anterior surfaces was difficult or impossible. |
|
Both traditional morphometric methods and thin-plate splines revealed paleobiological trends among the humeri and femora of Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, and Camarasaurus. |
|
Livezey extrapolated a weight of 113 g from measurements of femora and tibiotarsi. |
|
The spine, skull, pelvis, femora, and tibia are most commonly involved. |
|
Drawing top: the femora head which represents the top of the femur has the shape of a sphere which comes to be articulated in a concave cavity: the acetabulum. |
|
Femora dark red-brown, metathoracic femora with yellow-brown proximal and distal ends, mixed dark red-brown and pale yellowish setose. |
|
In all present femora, sediment and other bones obscure the caudodistal part. |
|
Coxae of legs I, II, and III with 3, 9, and 12 chaetae, respectively, trochanters with 9 chaetae each, and femora with 15 chaetae each. |
|
Coxae of legs I, II and III with 3, 10 and 12 chaetae, trochanters with 8 chaetae each and femora with 13, 13 and 12 chaetae. |
|
This clade is diagnosed on the short epipharyngeal projection and the shortened middle femora. |
|
This is allied to Lanieri, but is at once distinguished by the thorax, posterior coxae, femora and tibiae being entirely coccineous, and the four anterior legs black. |
