Postcranial elements of small mammals as indicators of locomotion and habitat.

Using Mahalanobis distances among groups, the CVA distinguishes all three locomotor categories from each other, but the distinction between scansorial taxa and the other two groups is only weakly significant: using Procrustes distances arboreal taxa are distinguished from terrestrial ones with a high degree of significance, and from scansorial ones with a weaker degree of significance: scansorial taxa cannot be distinguished from terrestrial ones.
