  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hand pressures during arboreal locomotion in captive bonobos (Pan paniscus)
    Diana S. Samuel, Sandra Nauwelaerts, Jeroen M. G. Stevens, Tracy L. Kivell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb170910 doi: 10.1242/jeb.170910 Published 19 April 2018

    Highlighted Article: Bonobo digit pressures are significantly greater during arboreal knuckle-walking than during either vertical or suspensory locomotion, and the thumb experiences low or no pressure during all locomotor modes.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Three-dimensional analysis of the fast-start escape response of the least killifish, Heterandria formosa
    Mike Fleuren, Johan L. van Leeuwen, Elsa M. Quicazan-Rubio, Remco P. M. Pieters, Bart J. A. Pollux, Cees J. Voesenek
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb168609 doi: 10.1242/jeb.168609 Published 6 April 2018

    Summary: The fast-start response of the least killifish entails a rich three-dimensional kinematic repertoire including complex combinations of roll, pitch and yaw motions.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    How does a slender tibia resist buckling? Effect of material, structural and geometric characteristics on buckling behaviour of the hindleg tibia in stick insect postembryonic development
    Maximilian Schmitt, Thies H. Büscher, Stanislav N. Gorb, Hamed Rajabi
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb173047 doi: 10.1242/jeb.173047 Published 20 February 2018

    Summary: Quantitative data on changes in biomechanical properties of hindleg tibia cuticle during the entire life of the stick insect Carausius morosus indicate strategies preventing buckling of the tibia.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Reducing gravity takes the bounce out of running
    Delyle T. Polet, Ryan T. Schroeder, John E. A. Bertram
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb162024 doi: 10.1242/jeb.162024 Published 13 February 2018

    Highlighted Article: During running, humans take higher leaps in normal gravity than in reduced gravity, in order to optimally balance the competing costs of stance and leg-swing work.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Neuromuscular mechanisms of an elaborate wing display in the golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus)
    Matthew J. Fuxjager, Leonida Fusani, Franz Goller, Lisa Trost, Andries Ter Maat, Manfred Gahr, Ioana Chiver, R. Miller Ligon IV, Jennifer Chew, Barney A. Schlinger
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4681-4688; doi: 10.1242/jeb.167270

    Summary: We pinpoint the main skeletal muscles associated with the production of an elaborate gestural courtship display in a tropical bird, the golden-collared manakin.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Kinematics of chisel-tooth digging by African mole-rats
    Sam Van Wassenbergh, Stef Heindryckx, Dominique Adriaens
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4479-4485; doi: 10.1242/jeb.164061

    Summary: During digging, mole-rats anchor their upper incisors in the soil while the lower incisors are lifted through the soil. A quick, nose-down rotation of the head finishes an excavation cycle.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Humeral loads during swimming and walking in turtles: implications for morphological change during aquatic reinvasions
    Vanessa K H. Young, Charlotte E. Wienands, Brittany P. Wilburn, Richard W. Blob
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3873-3877; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156836

    Summary: Turtle humeri experience reduced torsional loads during swimming compared with terrestrial walking. Such reductions may have facilitated the transition from tubular to flattened limb bones in secondarily aquatic tetrapods.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Escaping blood-fed malaria mosquitoes minimize tactile detection without compromising on take-off speed
    F. T. Muijres, S. W. Chang, W. G. van Veen, J. Spitzen, B. T. Biemans, M. A. R. Koehl, R. Dudley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3751-3762; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163402

    Highlighted Article: Malaria mosquitoes have a specialized take-off strategy that is both fast and extremely stealthy; they can use this strategy to successfully escape from a host after blood-feeding.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Take-off mechanisms in parasitoid wasps
    Malcolm Burrows, Marina Dorosenko
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3812-3825; doi: 10.1242/jeb.161463

    Summary: Parasitoid wasps use three strategies to take off: propulsion by rapid leg movements, propulsion by flapping wing movements and a combination of the two. Leg movements provide the most energy-efficient mechanism.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    A novel, bounding gait in swimming turtles: implications for aquatic locomotor diversity
    Christopher J. Mayerl, Richard W. Blob
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3611-3615; doi: 10.1242/jeb.164103

    Summary: The pleurodire turtle Emydura subglobosa can swim using a bounding gait, potentially facilitated by longer muscle fascicle lengths than in other species, and this may have implications for the locomotor evolution of the lineage.
