The remarkable diversity of life on Earth is evident in the wide array of limb morphologies found among vertebrates. Limbs serve as essential tools for locomotion, feeding and other critical functions across different species. Understanding the variations in limb structure and their evolutionary significance is a fascinating field of study. The intricate world of vertebrate limb morphology, exploring the similarities, differences and evolutionary adaptations that have shaped these remarkable appendages. The study of limb morphology in vertebrates has long fascinated biologists, paleontologists and anatomists alike. Limbs play a crucial role in locomotion, capturing prey, defense and a variety of other specialized functions across different species. By examining the similarities and differences in limb structure and function, scientists gain valuable insights into the evolutionary history and adaptive radiation of vertebrates.
