Kinematics

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flexibility of intraoral food processing in the salamandrid newt Triturus carnifex: effects of environment and prey type
    Daniel Schwarz, Stanislav N. Gorb, Alexander Kovalev, Nicolai Konow, Egon Heiss
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb232868 doi: 10.1242/jeb.232868 Published 12 November 2020

    Summary: Food processing of the newt Triturus carnifex varies with the type of food, but not with the medium in which feeding takes place.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Vision does not impact walking performance in Argentine ants
    Glenna T. Clifton, David Holway, Nicholas Gravish
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb228460 doi: 10.1242/jeb.228460 Published 16 October 2020

    Summary: Argentine ants plunged into darkness do not slow down while walking on flat and uneven terrain or while approaching and crossing a step obstacle.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The effects of temperature on the defensive strikes of rattlesnakes
    Malachi D. Whitford, Grace A. Freymiller, Timothy E. Higham, Rulon W. Clark
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223859 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223859 Published 20 July 2020

    Highlighted Article: Viper strike kinematics across a range of ecologically relevant temperatures show that defensive strikes of vipers are affected by temperature, but less than would be expected if the movement was purely muscle-driven.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A salamander that chews using complex, three-dimensional mandible movements
    Daniel Schwarz, Nicolai Konow, Yonas Tolosa Roba, Egon Heiss
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb220749 doi: 10.1242/jeb.220749 Published 6 March 2020

    Summary: 3D kinematics and morphological analysis reveal that the paedomorphic salamander Siren intermedia uses complex 3D chewing, suggesting that such mechanisms might have evolved early in the tetrapod evolution.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Medium compensation in a spring-actuated system
    Kathryn D. Feller, Gregory P. Sutton, Paloma T. Gonzalez-Bellido
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb208678 doi: 10.1242/jeb.208678 Published 25 February 2020

    Highlighted Article: Despite the forces of viscous drag underwater, mantis shrimp strike faster in water than they do in air.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The integration of sensory feedback in the modulation of anuran landing preparation
    Suzanne M. Cox, Gary B. Gillis
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb214908 doi: 10.1242/jeb.214908 Published 5 February 2020

    Summary: Toads, unlike mammals, prioritize non-visual information to coordinate landing preparation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Walking kinematics in the polymorphic seed harvester ant Messor barbarus: influence of body size and load carriage
    Hugo Merienne, Gérard Latil, Pierre Moretto, Vincent Fourcassié
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb205690 doi: 10.1242/jeb.205690 Published 3 February 2020

    Summary: Scale effect rather than morphological differences explain the variability in load-carrying performance in different-sized individuals in the polymorphic ant species Messor barbarus.

  • COMMENTARY
    A mobility-based classification of closed kinematic chains in biomechanics and implications for motor control
    Aaron M. Olsen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb195735 doi: 10.1242/jeb.195735 Published 6 November 2019

    Summary: Using examples of biomechanical systems from fishes, birds and humans, this Commentary shows how mechanical linkages can be created or modified dynamically during behaviors in order to improve motor control.

  • REVIEW
    Escape responses of fish: a review of the diversity in motor control, kinematics and behaviour
    Paolo Domenici, Melina E. Hale
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb166009 doi: 10.1242/jeb.166009 Published 18 September 2019

    Summary: This Review focuses on the diversity of the kinematics and neural control of escape responses and other accelerative motions that are of fundamental importance for predator–prey interactions and in other behavioural contexts.

  • COMMENTARY
    Beyond power amplification: latch-mediated spring actuation is an emerging framework for the study of diverse elastic systems
    S. J. Longo, S. M. Cox, E. Azizi, M. Ilton, J. P. Olberding, R. St Pierre, S. N. Patek
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb197889 doi: 10.1242/jeb.197889 Published 9 August 2019

    Summary: A framework centered on the dynamic interactions of springs and latches enables clear, comparable measurements and productive interdisciplinary pathways for biological analysis and engineering design.
