In any case, we clearly need to examine additional regions of the skeleton to obtain a more comprehensive picture of its behavior (more studies are in preparation!).

Hi Jeffrey, yes: Pliobates is a clear example of the mosaic, stepwise (and often parallel) evolution of the catarrhine postcranium, and it nicely illustrates the complexity involved in reconstructing locomotor repertoires in fossil catarrhines, including Miocene apes
