Three-dimensional geometric analysis of felid limb bone allometry.

<h4>Background</h4>Studies of bone allometry typically use simple measurements taken in a small number of locations per bone; often the midshaft diameter or joint surface area is compared to body mass or bone length. However, bones must fulfil multiple roles simultaneously with minimum c...
