Subject collection: Comparative biomechanics of movement

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Sticking to it: testing passive pull-off forces in waterfall-climbing fishes across challenging substrates
    Amanda M. Palecek, Heiko L. Schoenfuss, Richard W. Blob
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb228718 doi: 10.1242/jeb.228718 Published 21 January 2021

    Summary: Analysis of adhesion and detatchment in four species of Hawaiian gobies across substrates differing in roughness and wettability reveals varying climbing abilities and higher shear pull-off forces on rough substrates.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Trunk and leg kinematics of grounded and aerial running in bipedal macaques
    Reinhard Blickhan, Emanuel Andrada, Eishi Hirasaki, Naomichi Ogihara
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb225532 doi: 10.1242/jeb.225532 Published 15 January 2021

    Summary: In macaques, coordination of leg and trunk segments for bipedal locomotion indicates a running gait with limited ability for energy storage.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The influence of sagittal trunk lean on uneven running mechanics
    Soran AminiAghdam, Reinhard Blickhan, Kiros Karamanidis
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb228288 doi: 10.1242/jeb.228288 Published 6 January 2021

    Summary: Trunk posture- and step-specific adjustments in global and local running mechanics are influenced by the anticipation of changes to running pattern, probably reflecting the utilization of task-dependent strategies during perturbed running.

  • COMMENTARY
    Thermal robustness of biomechanical processes
    Jeffrey P. Olberding, Stephen M. Deban
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2021 224: jeb228973 doi: 10.1242/jeb.228973 Published 4 January 2021

    Summary: Mechanical processes that replace chemical processes in organismal movement can result in performance that is robust to changing temperature.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Elastic wing deformations mitigate flapping asymmetry during manoeuvres in rose chafers (Protaetia cuprea)
    Yonatan Meresman, Gal Ribak
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb225599 doi: 10.1242/jeb.225599 Published 22 December 2020

    Summary: During aerial turning, the chordwise flexibility of rose chafer wings increases the torque of each wing while improving maneouvring stability by mitigating the asymmetry in wing pitch between contralateral wings.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Pursuit predation with intermittent locomotion in zebrafish
    Alberto P. Soto, Matthew J. McHenry
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb230623 doi: 10.1242/jeb.230623 Published 17 December 2020

    Highlighted Article: Predatory zebrafish adjust their heading during intermittent bursts in their motion toward evasive prey by modulating the maximum tail excursion in proportion to the prey's bearing.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    There and back again – a zebra's tale
    Hattie Bartlam-Brooks, Simon Wilshin, Tatjana Hubel, Stephen Hailes, Emily Bennitt, Alan M. Wilson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb232140 doi: 10.1242/jeb.232140 Published 2 December 2020

    Highlighted Article: Modelling of high-accuracy GPS recordings shows zebra moving between grazeland and water can navigate using multiple distinct routes; they do not need to use the same route every journey.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Accelerometry predicts muscle ultrastructure and flight capabilities in a wild bird
    Kristen M. Lalla, Shannon Whelan, Karl Brown, Allison Patterson, Ana Gabriela Jimenez, Scott A. Hatch, Kyle H. Elliott
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb234104 doi: 10.1242/jeb.234104 Published 20 November 2020

    Highlighted Article: Comparison of flight characteristics with flight muscle ultrastructure in a seabird reveals that wing beat frequency is negatively correlated with fibre diameter and average air speed is positively correlated with the number of nuclei per fibre.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The phase shift between potential and kinetic energy in human walking
    Giovanni A. Cavagna, Mario A. Legramandi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb232645 doi: 10.1242/jeb.232645 Published 12 November 2020

    Summary: The effect of phase shift between kinetic and gravitational potential energy of the center of mass of the body in human walking.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flight muscle power increases with strain amplitude and decreases with cycle frequency in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)
    Joseph W. Bahlman, Vikram B. Baliga, Douglas L. Altshuler
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb225839 doi: 10.1242/jeb.225839 Published 12 November 2020

    Highlighted Article: During flapping flight, birds can increase wing velocity through increasing either wingbeat frequency or stroke amplitude. Work loop experiments demonstrate that increasing velocity via strain amplitude consistently increases net power.
