“…The capacity for animals to change between locomotor modes -altering gait, limb posture or body position -fluidly and efficiently is key to locomotor success in multiple settings. This ability seems especially important in a complex arboreal milieu occupied by many mammalian species (Blanchard and Crompton, 2011;Fleagle, 2013). In the trees, some animals have the ability to switch between above-and below-branch movement, and primates seem particularly adept at this behavior compared with other mammals (Table S1; but see Fujiwara et al, 2011).…”

“…The ability to change locomotor modes by adjusting gait and/or posture is key to movement and foraging success in a complex threedimensional arboreal environment (Blanchard and Crompton, 2011;Fleagle, 2013;Schmitt and Lemelin, 2002). One remarkable form of locomotor mode switching is the ability of an animal to drop below an arboreal support and adopt suspensory locomotion -any form of forward progression in which the body's center of mass (COM) lies below the point of contact (Stern and Oxnard, 1973).…”

“…It has often been asserted that primates display the highest locomotor diversity compared to any other mammalian group (e.g. Vilensky & Larson, 1989;Cant, 1992;Blanchard & Crompton, 2011;Fleagle, 2013;Schmitt et al, 2016). This high degree of locomotor diversity observed in primates has been considered an essential adaptation potentially responsible for the evolutionary success of the order (Jones, 1916;Vilensky & Larson, 1989;Schmitt et al, 2016), and it is this assumption that has led to numerous studies documenting locomotor behaviors across a broad phylogenetic spectrum of primate species (Table S1 and Data S1).…”

“…Data collection followed Blanchard and Crompton [2011], itself based on earlier work [Crompton, 1983;Warren and Crompton, 1997] whereby ad libitum, continuous scan sampling is used to record data from any observed locomotor bout from any individual. A bout is defined as any occurrence of locomotion in a given mode that has an obvious beginning and end.…”
