adapiforms造句

• Analyses of extinct adapiforms postcranial skeletons suggest a variety of locomotor behavior.
• Instead, it is unique to lemuriforms and is not seen among adapiforms.
• It is unclear whether adapiforms possessed grooming claws.
• Often, adapiforms are placed in their own infraorder due to anatomical differences with lemuriforms and their unclear relationship.
• Adapiforms belong to the infraorder Adapiformes, which contains a single superfamily, "'Adapoidea " '.
• Adapiforms are known from the fossil record only, and it is unclear whether they form a monophyletic or paraphyletic group.
• Adapiforms, however, lack a specialized arrangement of teeth, known as a toothcomb, which nearly all living strepsirrhines possess.
• The relationship between adapiform and lemuriform primates has not been clearly demonstrated, so the position of adapiforms as a paraphyletic stem group is questionable.
• Although their status as true primates is not questioned, the questionable relationship between adapiforms and other living and fossil primates leads to multiple classifications within Strepsirrhini.
• It is more widely agreed upon that adapiforms are closely related to modern lemurs and lorises, although there much speculation as to which taxa are more closely related.
• This, as well as studies of other African adapiforms like "  Anchomomys milleri ", suggests a more ancient ghost lineage for lemuriforms in Africa.
• Adapiforms exhibit the gap between the upper incisors, which indicates the presence of a VNO, but there is some disagreement over whether or not they possessed a rhinarium.
• Sivaladapids are notable for including by far the youngest adapiforms; members of this group are otherwise known mostly from the Eocene, but several sivaladapids occurred during the Miocene.
• Arguments for an evolutionary link between adapiforms and simians made by paleontologists Gingerich, Elwyn L . Simons, missing link between humans and earlier primates " ( simians and adapiforms ).
• Arguments for an evolutionary link between adapiforms and simians made by paleontologists Gingerich, Elwyn L . Simons, missing link between humans and earlier primates " ( simians and adapiforms ).
• Although the authors noted that " Darwinius " was not a " fossil lemur ", they did emphasize the absence of a toothcomb, which adapiforms did not possess.
• Instead of being the direct ancestors of lemurs, the adapiforms may have given rise to both the lemurs and lorisoids, a split that would be supported by molecular phylogenetic studies.
• Though it is generally accepted that adapiforms gave rise to modern day lemurs and lorises, it is not currently known which branch of Adapiformes these living species are most closely related to.
• Both molecular clock data and new fossil finds suggest that the lemuriform divergence from the other primates and the subsequent lemur-lorisoid split both predate the appearance of adapiforms in the early Eocene.
• A popular hypothesis about the origins of the lemuriform clade is that they evolved from European adapiforms known as paleontologist Philip D . Gingerich has suggested this foreshadowed the development of the lemuriform toothcomb.
