biomechanics

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Inverse dynamic modelling of jumping in the red-legged running frog, Kassina maculata
    Laura B. Porro, Amber J. Collings, Enrico A. Eberhard, Kyle P. Chadwick, Christopher T. Richards
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1882-1893; doi: 10.1242/jeb.155416

    Summary: Experimental data and inverse dynamic modelling demonstrate how forward thrust and elevation are produced in the frog hind limb, allowing frogs to jump at a wide range of angles.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Metabolic cost of human hopping
    Anne K. Gutmann, John E. A. Bertram
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1654-1662; doi: 10.1242/jeb.150284

    Highlighted Article: When two-legged hopping is used as a model to determine the relationship between metabolic cost and muscle mechanics, muscle impulse (time integral of muscle force) characterizes the energetic cost per hop best.

  • REVIEW
    Mechanics of the thorax in flies
    Tanvi Deora, Namrata Gundiah, Sanjay P. Sane
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1382-1395; doi: 10.1242/jeb.128363

    Summary: An overview of the structure and mechanics of thorax in insects, with specific emphasis on flies. We specifically explore how the flight apparatus has evolved to meet the steep demands of flight in smaller insects.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Archerfish use their shooting technique to produce adaptive underwater jets
    Jana Dewenter, Peggy Gerullis, Alexander Hecker, Stefan Schuster
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1019-1025; doi: 10.1242/jeb.146936

    Summary: Archerfish use the same mouth opening maneuver to produce and to adapt aerial and underwater jets.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Longitudinal and transversal displacements between triceps surae muscles during locomotion of the rat
    Michel Bernabei, Jaap H. van Dieën, Huub Maas
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 537-550; doi: 10.1242/jeb.143545

    Summary: Differences in anatomy, morphology and neural drive between rat ankle plantar-flexors cause substantial intermuscular displacement during locomotion, which may affect mechanical interactions between muscle bellies and tendons.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    How the bending kinematics of swimming lampreys build negative pressure fields for suction thrust
    Brad J. Gemmell, Stephanie M. Fogerson, John H. Costello, Jennifer R. Morgan, John O. Dabiri, Sean P. Colin
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3884-3895; doi: 10.1242/jeb.144642

    Highlighted Article: A comparison of the swimming and hydrodynamics of control lampreys to lampreys whose spinal cord was transected mid-body reveals the hydrodynamic advantage of actively controlled swimming.

  • METHODS & TECHNIQUES
    Validation of XMALab software for marker-based XROMM
    Benjamin J. Knörlein, David B. Baier, Stephen M. Gatesy, J. D. Laurence-Chasen, Elizabeth L. Brainerd
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3701-3711; doi: 10.1242/jeb.145383

    Summary: New motion analysis software offers greater precision and reproducibility than existing tools for tracking markers in videos, yielding greater sensitivity for measuring 3D motions with XROMM animations.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Bristles reduce the force required to ‘fling’ wings apart in the smallest insects
    Shannon K. Jones, Young J. J. Yun, Tyson L. Hedrick, Boyce E. Griffith, Laura A. Miller
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3759-3772; doi: 10.1242/jeb.143362

    Highlighted Article: Long bristles on the wings of the smallest insects reduce the force required to ‘fling’ the wings apart while still maintaining lift.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Preferred gait and walk–run transition speeds in ostriches measured using GPS-IMU sensors
    Monica A. Daley, Anthony J. Channon, Grant S. Nolan, Jade Hall
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3301-3308; doi: 10.1242/jeb.142588

    Highlighted Article: Ostriches moving freely overground prefer to walk very slowly and run over a broad range of speeds, with gait transitions at slower relative speeds than humans.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Determinants of preferred ground clearance during swing phase of human walking
    Amy R. Wu, Arthur D. Kuo
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3106-3113; doi: 10.1242/jeb.137356

    Summary: The foot's ground clearance during each swing phase of walking may be explained by competing costs of lifting the foot versus scuffing it on the ground, modulated by movement variability.
