Morphological characteristics of the forelimb flexor digitorum muscles and their distinctive innervation pattern in koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus): implications for function and morphogenesis
Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are marsupials highly specialized for arboreal life and are considered a representative example of convergent evolution with primates, which are also adapted to arboreal habitats. The forelimb digital flexors play a crucial role in arboreal locomotion by flexing the digits and enabling the claws or fingers to engage with tree trunks and branches. Although the…
