biomechanics

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Skeletal stiffening in an amphibious fish out of water is a response to increased body weight
    Andy J. Turko, Dietmar Kültz, Douglas Fudge, Roger P. Croll, Frank M. Smith, Matthew R. Stoyek, Patricia A. Wright
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3621-3631; doi: 10.1242/jeb.161638

    Highlighted Article: Did weight responsiveness evolve during the tetrapod invasion of land or is it ubiquitous among vertebrates? Skeletal stiffening in amphibious fish out of water supports the latter hypothesis.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A peculiar mechanism of bite-force enhancement in lungless salamanders revealed by a new geometric method for modeling muscle moments
    Stephen M. Deban, Jason C. Richardson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3588-3597; doi: 10.1242/jeb.165266

    Summary: Desmognathine salamanders achieve a strong bite with a unique ligamentous mechanism that amplifies muscle force.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mechanical properties of sediment determine burrowing success and influence distribution of two lugworm species
    R. L. Crane, R. A. Merz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3248-3259; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156760

    Summary: Field-based measurements link distribution of two ecosystem engineer lugworm species with the mechanical properties of the sediment, their differential burrowing success and morphological features.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Performance, morphology and control of power-amplified mandibles in the trap-jaw ant Myrmoteras (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
    Fredrick J. Larabee, Wulfila Gronenberg, Andrew V. Suarez
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3062-3071; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156513

    Summary: The kinematics, anatomy and power-amplification mechanism for trap-jaw ants in the genus Myrmoteras, one of four convergent ant lineages with spring-loaded mandibles, are described.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Rib kinematics during lung ventilation in the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis): an XROMM analysis
    Robert J. Brocklehurst, Sabine Moritz, Jonathan Codd, William I. Sellers, Elizabeth L. Brainerd
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3181-3190; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156166

    Summary: Using XROMM to test how well joint anatomy predicts rib motion during breathing in crocodylians, our best living model for the earliest archosaurs.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Changes in mechanical work during neural adaptation to asymmetric locomotion
    Brian P. Selgrade, Montakan Thajchayapong, Gloria E. Lee, Megan E. Toney, Young-Hui Chang
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2993-3000; doi: 10.1242/jeb.149450

    Summary: Minimizing mechanical work performed by the legs may drive locomotor adaptation, with wide relevance for the control of legged locomotion and motor learning in novel environments.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Hindlimb muscle function in turtles: is novel skeletal design correlated with novel muscle function?
    Christopher J. Mayerl, Jenna E. Pruett, Morgan N. Summerlin, Angela R. V. Rivera, Richard W. Blob
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2554-2562; doi: 10.1242/jeb.157792

    Summary: Novel muscle arrangements and leverage patterns associated with derived fusion of the pelvis to the shell in pleurodire turtles are associated with several novel muscle activity patterns in this lineage.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Ontogeny of bite force in a validated biomechanical model of the American alligator
    Kaleb C. Sellers, Kevin M. Middleton, Julian L. Davis, Casey M. Holliday
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2036-2046; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156281

    Summary: A high-fidelity 3D computational model of alligator bite force that can be used for inferring feeding behavior in fossils.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Muscle–tendon mechanics explain unexpected effects of exoskeleton assistance on metabolic rate during walking
    Rachel W. Jackson, Christopher L. Dembia, Scott L. Delp, Steven H. Collins
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2082-2095; doi: 10.1242/jeb.150011

    Summary: Lower-limb exoskeletons often produce odd adaptations in humans. Muscle-level mechanics and energetics, estimated in data-driven simulations of exoskeleton-assisted walking, can explain why.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Hearing on the fly: the effects of wing position on noctuid moth hearing
    Shira D. Gordon, Elizabeth Klenschi, James F. C. Windmill
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1952-1955; doi: 10.1242/jeb.156588

    Summary: Noctuid moth wing position affects neural hearing sensitivity. No significant differences in eardrum movement occur; therefore, differences are hypothesized to be due to internal factors such as muscle tension.
