Description

Figure 8. Architectural parameters of muscle groups crossing the shoulder, elbow, and wrist in the koala (K) and the common wombat (W). The less y axis relates to stacked bars and shows (A) summed PCSA and (B) mean fascicle length (normalized by body mass). The right y axis relates to circle (koala) and square (wombat) points, and shows the ratio between these PCSA and FL values for each antagonistic muscle group, as a measure of relative emphasis placed by these species on opposing actions at each of the forelimb joints. Muscles assigned to each functional group are detailed in Table 5.
