Übersetzung für 'quadrupedalism' von Englisch nach Deutsch

quadrupedalism

Quadrupedalismus {m}biol.

• This isolation led to the implication of more genes as the causes of quadrupedalism.
• Real-world tripedalism is rare, in contrast to the common bipedalism of two-legged animals and quadrupedalism of four-legged animals.
• They lived in trees and apparently moved on top of tree limbs by a combination of quadrupedalism and leaping, much as do living squirrel monkeys of the genus "Saimiri".
• Movement within the rainforest canopy and floor includes quadrupedalism (walking and running on supports), bridging (crossing gaps by stretching), and climbing.
• The limb bones of "Cantius frugivorus" suggest it moved by arboreal quadrupedalism and leaping.

• The phalanges of the hands and feet suggest powerful grasping consistent with arboreal quadrupedalism.
• An alternative explanation is that the mixture of savanna and scattered forests increased terrestrial travel by proto-humans between clusters of trees, and bipedalism offered greater efficiency for long-distance travel between these clusters than quadrupedalism.
• They have bipedalism and quadrupedalism types of retreat.
• Specialized locomotor behaviours, such as brachiating, are thought to have evolved from arboreal quadrupedalism.
• A related concept to quadrupedalism is pronogrady, or having a horizontal posture of the trunk.

• The development of entaxony in "Aardonyx" provides further evidence for its reduced cursorial ability and wider gauge-gait, which is thought to have preceded obligatory quadrupedalism in sauropodomorphs.
• This family exhibited locomotive dynamism; there exists evidence for both bipedalism and quadrupedalism within iguanodontid species, supporting the idea that individual organisms were capable of both locomoting exclusively with their hind limbs and locomoting quadrupedally.
