1 Primate Origins and Supraordinal Relationships: Morphological Evidence (2006, background): “…and dermopterans in spite of some fundamental differences between their locomotor modes (gliding in dermopterans, arboreal quadrupedalism in Ptilocercus; Sargis 2001a, 2002a, b, c, d, 2004, in press), implying that they may be ancestral for the common ancestor of Sundatheria, or even of Euarchonta.”
A multivariate approach to infer locomotor modes in Mesozoic mammals (2015, background): “…have been included in other studies, where they were shown to be functionally relevant or important for discriminating among locomotor strategies (Supplementary Table 2) (e.g., Van Valkenburgh 1987; Beard 1993; Sargis 2001a, 2002a,b; Samuels and Van Valkenburgh 2008; Samuels et al. 2013).”
Evaluating the Mitten-Gliding Hypothesis for Paromomyidae and Micromomyidae (Mammalia, “Plesiadapiformes”) Using Comparative Functional Morphology of New Paleogene Skeletons (2008, methodology): “…distinctive in morphological and proportional features (Table 11.8), differing from agile arboreal primates and scansorial rodents in having a thoracic region with an increased number of vertebrae and a lumbar region with fewer elements comprising it (Sargis, 2001a; Shapiro and Simons, 2002).”
