Making monsters: using musculo-skeletal modelling to understand the consequences of increased body size in varanid lizards

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
The functional design of skeletal muscle is shaped by conflicting selective pressures between support and propulsion.This study uses a custom-built OpenSim model of varanid lizards to understand how size-related changes are reflected in changes in joint moments at the knee and ankle.
