This small size also enabled them a degree of arboreality.
2.
The evolutionary path between arboreality and flight has been proposed through a number of hypotheses.
3.
The smallness and arboreality of the forms was used to explain the fact that they rarely left a trace in the fossil record.
4.
The absence of such gait in panins and gorillines might, however, be a simple statistical consequence of much more exclusive arboreality in Pongo.
