Grasping is important for arboreal species as it allows them to hold on to branches. Although grasping has been studied previously in the context of primate origins and as an indicator of age‐induced loss in overall performance, little is known about the proximate determinants of variation in strength. We measured hand pull strength in 62 adult captive individuals of grey mouse lemurs Microcebus murinus...
Human beings have been credited with unparalleled capabilities for digital prehension grasping. However, grasping behaviour is widespread among tetrapods. The propensity to grasp, and the anatomical characteristics that underlie it, appear in all of the major groups of tetrapods with the possible exception of terrestrial turtles.
