Functional morphology of the forelimb of Tupaiids (Mammalia, Scandentia) and its phylogenetic implications
- E. Sargis
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of morphology
- 1 July 2002
In this study, the forelimb of 12 species of tupaiids was analyzed functionally and compared to that of other archontan mammals. Several differences that relate to differential substrate use were… Expand
New Paleocene skeletons and the relationship of plesiadapiforms to crown-clade primates
- J. Bloch, M. Silcox, D. Boyer, E. Sargis
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 23 January 2007
Plesiadapiforms are central to studies of the origin and evolution of primates and other euarchontan mammals (tree shrews and flying lemurs). We report results from a comprehensive cladistic analysis… Expand
Model-based analysis of postcranial osteology of marsupials from the Palaeocene of Itaboraí (Brazil) and the phylogenetics and biogeography of Metatheria
- F. S. Szalay, E. Sargis
- Biology
- 2001
Over 130 specimens of metatherian bones (predominantly long bones, one scapula, and several innominates and unguals) from the Palaeocene Itaborai fissures of Brazil are described and analyzed from a… Expand

A New Genus of African Monkey, Rungwecebus: Morphology, Ecology, and Molecular Phylogenetics
- T. Davenport, William Stanley, +4 authors L. E. Olson
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 2 June 2006
A new species of African monkey, Lophocebus kipunji, was described in 2005 based on observations from two sites in Tanzania. We have since obtained a specimen killed by a farmer on Mount Rungwe, the… Expand
Functional morphology of the hindlimb of tupaiids (Mammalia, Scandentia) and its phylogenetic implications
- E. Sargis
- Medicine
- Journal of morphology
- 1 November 2002
In this study, the hindlimb of 12 species of tupaiids was analyzed functionally and compared to that of primates, dermopterans, and chiropterans. Many aspects of the tupaiid hindlimb vary in relation… Expand
Terrestrial adaptations in the postcranial skeletons of guenons.
Arboreal and semiterrestrial guenons show similar osteological features of the limbs across a wide range of species, environments, and geography, while the more terrestrially committed guenons… Expand

- E. Sargis
- Biology
- 1 April 2001
The grasping behaviour, locomotion and substrate use of the tree shrews Tupaia minor and T. tana were investigated in the Department of Zoological Research at the National Zoological Park in… Expand
