“…The increased pivot region depth has been suggested to increase mobility at the calcaneocuboid joint (Gebo, 1992;Lewis, 1980a;Rose, 1988). A recent analysis of external variation among gorilla taxa found this trend to hold true on a smaller taxonomic scale, with Gorilla gorilla gorilla, the most arboreal gorilla species (Doran-Sheehy, Andrainady, & Lodwich, 2009;Masi, 2004) exhibiting the relatively deepest pivot region, while G. beringei beringei, the most terrestrial (Doran, 1996;Doran & McNeilage, 1998) has the relatively shallowest pivot region (Harper, Ruff, & Sylvester, 2021). G. b. graueri, which is intermediate in degree of arboreality (Doran & McNeilage, 1998), is also intermediate in cuboid facet pivot region depth (Harper et al, 2021).…”
