Gibbon species are highly specialized for brachiation. Nevertheless, as with all primates, they are capable of various posturo-locomotor modes as part of a larger overall positional repertoire. In this context, the study of their locomotor apparatus is very relevant to better understand their evolution toward such specialization for brachiation on the one hand, and the degree to which their body may reflect compromises on the other hand. Indeed, gibbons also frequently use a variety of other non-brachiating locomotor modes – including bipedalism, leaping and climbing – that are crucial during arboreal travel. Here, we present a dataset of external morphometrics and estimates of segmental inertial properties for Nomascus gabriellae – the fir...
