energetic cost

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Connecting the legs with a spring improves human running economy
    Cole S. Simpson, Cara G. Welker, Scott D. Uhlrich, Sean M. Sketch, Rachel W. Jackson, Scott L. Delp, Steve H. Collins, Jessica C. Selinger, Elliot W. Hawkes
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb202895 doi: 10.1242/jeb.202895 Published 3 September 2019

    Highlighted Article: Connecting the legs with a spring assists runners in swinging their legs, enabling them to take faster, shorter, more efficient strides.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The metabolic cost of carrying a sexually selected trait in the male fiddler crab Uca pugilator
    Alexa Tullis, Corinne H. T. Straube
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3641-3648; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163816

    Summary: The large sexually selected claw of male fiddler crabs has no effect on the metabolic cost of locomotion during sustainable activity but may increase cost during strenuous, non-sustainable activity.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The energetic cost of filtration by demosponges and their behavioural response to ambient currents
    Danielle A. Ludeman, Matthew A. Reidenbach, Sally P. Leys
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 995-1007; doi: 10.1242/jeb.146076

    Summary: Filter feeding in demosponges is energetically costly, with some species showing active behavioural control over the amount of water they filter under different ambient current speeds.

  • 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.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mechanical and energetic consequences of reduced ankle plantar-flexion in human walking
    Tzu-wei P. Huang, Kenneth A. Shorter, Peter G. Adamczyk, Arthur D. Kuo
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3541-3550; doi: 10.1242/jeb.113910

    Summary: Ankle push-off plays an important role of the energy expenditure of human walking, which can be explained by the mechanical work performed by the lower extremity joints.

  • ELECTRIC ORGANS
    The energetics of electric organ discharge generation in gymnotiform weakly electric fish
    Vielka L. Salazar, Rüdiger Krahe, John E. Lewis
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 2459-2468; doi: 10.1242/jeb.082735
  • ALTERATION OF HOST BEHAVIOUR
    How much energy should manipulative parasites leave to their hosts to ensure altered behaviours?
    Fanny Maure, Jacques Brodeur, David Hughes, Frédéric Thomas
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 43-46; doi: 10.1242/jeb.073163
