Evolution of limb bone loading and body size in varanid lizards

Geometric scaling predicts that stresses on limb bones and muscles should increase with body size. Mammals counter this sizerelated increase in stress partially through changes in bone geometry, but largely through changes in posture, with larger species having a more erect stance. However, the abil...
