Fig. 7. (A) Manus and pes placement about the arboreal trackway. Location of the
center of pressure of each foot is drawn to scale relative to branch
cross-sectional shape. (B) Representative required coefficient of friction
data from M. domestica on the arboreal trackway (1.10 m
s1). High values occur at the foot touchdown and again at
the end of the step. The broken line indicates the median value for this
record (0.528). (C) Median required coefficient of friction for fore limbs and
hind limbs on horizontal terrestrial and arboreal substrates. Ellipses are
used to make each group more visible, and are calculated as in
Fig. 5.
