About the Cover
Cover: The large range in size and similar shape of felids makes them well suited for isolating the effects of size on limb posture. Thus, L. M. Day and B. C. Jayne (pp. 642-654) compared the limb posture of nine different sized cat species including those in the composite photo (domestic cat, ocelot, serval and cheetah). Unlike phylogenetically diverse samples of mammals, for which straighter limb posture correlates with increased size, felid limb posture and size have little significant correlation.
