Exoskeleton

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    What goes up must come down: biomechanical impact analysis of falling locusts
    Simon V. Reichel, Susanna Labisch, Jan-Henning Dirks
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb202986 doi: 10.1242/jeb.202986 Published 22 July 2019

    Highlighted Article: Free-falling locusts use several biomechanical mechanisms enabling them to control their body posture at impact. This ability allows them to quickly prepare for the next jump.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Aquatic versus terrestrial crab skeletal support: morphology, mechanics, molting and scaling
    Jennifer R. A. Taylor
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb185421 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185421 Published 29 October 2018

    Summary: Aquatic and terrestrial crabs experience different mechanical challenges that have little impact on their rigid skeleton but significant consequences for their hydrostatic skeleton that may constrain terrestrial crab size.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke
    Jaehyun Bae, Louis N. Awad, Andrew Long, Kathleen O'Donnell, Katy Hendron, Kenneth G. Holt, Terry D. Ellis, Conor J. Walsh
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb168815 doi: 10.1242/jeb.168815 Published 7 March 2018

    Summary: A soft robotic exosuit designed to assist the paretic limb during walking can induce more symmetrical body center of mass power generation by the paretic and non-paretic limbs and reduce metabolic power consumption during hemiparetic walking.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Biomineralization-related specialization of hemocytes and mantle tissues of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas
    Anna V. Ivanina, Halina I. Falfushynska, Elia Beniash, Helen Piontkivska, Inna M. Sokolova
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3209-3221; doi: 10.1242/jeb.160861

    Summary: Different subpopulations of oyster hemocytes are specialized for biomineralization or immune functions as revealed by functional differences and gene expression profiles.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Nutrient intake determines post-maturity molting in the golden orb-web spider Nephila pilipes (Araneae: Araneidae)
    Ren-Chung Cheng, Shichang Zhang, Yu-Chun Chen, Chia-Yi Lee, Yi-Ling Chou, Hui-Ying Ye, Dakota Piorkowski, Chen-Pan Liao, I.-Min Tso
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2260-2264; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153569

    Summary: Nutrition determines post-maturity molting (PMM) in the orb-web spider Nephila pilipes, suggesting PMM may have evolved as an adaptation to diverse foraging conditions during range expansion.
