The influence of locomotion and habitat use on tendo-muscular units of an anuran clade (Anura, Diphyabatrachia)

Tendons have unique mechanical properties, contributing to the transmission, amplification, and recycling of muscle energy. In this light, anuran tendons are especially interesting due to their highly mechanically demanding locomotor modes. Herein we aim to investigate the relation between tendons and muscles from two perspectives: (1) the tendinous area in relation to the potential force produced by associated muscles, and how this relation...
