Figure 1


Fig. 1. Dynamics of turning. A turn requires a sideward translation (A) and a rotation that aligns the animal with the new direction of movement (B). The cartoons at the bottom depict the forces that are capable of accomplishing these positional changes. They are mediolateral forces for the translation, and mediolateral and/or fore/aft forces for the rotation.
