Casado, Aroa Avià, Yasmina Llorente, Miquel Riba, David Pastor Vázquez, Juan Francisco Potau, Josep Maria 2021 Producción Científica The environmental conditions of captive hominoid primates can lead to modifications in several aspects of their behavior, including locomotion, which can then alter the morphological characteristics of certain anatomical regions, such as the knee or wrist. We have performed tridimensional geometric morphometrics (3D GM) analyses of the distal radial epiphysis in wild and captive gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. Our objective was to study the morphology of the insertion sites of the palmar radiocarpal ligaments, since the anatomical characteristics of these insertion sites are closely related to the different types of locomotion of these hominoid primates. We have identified significant differences between the wild and captive specimens that are likely related to their different types of locomotion. Our results indicate that the habitat conditions of captive hominoid primates may cause them to modify their locomotor behavior, leading to a greater use of certain movements in captivity than in the wild and resulting in the anatomical changes we have observed. We suggest that creating more natural environments in zoological facilities could reduce the impact of these differences and also increase the well-being of primates raised in captive environments. application/pdf https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/59551 eng MDPI Anatomía veterinaria Evolutionary Biology 3201.11 Radiología 2401.01 Anatomía Animal Effects of captivity on the morphology of the insertion sites of the palmar radiocarpal ligaments in hominoid primates info:eu-repo/semantics/article TEXT UVaDOC.
