Distinct ossification trade-offs illuminate the shoulder girdle reconfiguration at the water-to-land transition

Abstract The mechanisms of the pectoral girdle transformation at the origin of terrestrial locomotion in vertebrates remain an outstanding problem. The loss of intramembranous bones and the enlargement of endochondral bones resulted in the disarticulation of the pectoral girdle from the skull and th...
