  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A slow V̇O2 on-response allows comfortable adoption of aerobically unaffordable walking and running speeds on short stair ascents
    Alberto E. Minetti, Fabrizio Rapuzzi, Cristine Lima Alberton, Gaspare Pavei
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb218982 doi: 10.1242/jeb.218982 Published 6 October 2020

    Summary: Spontaneous walking and running upstairs, when limited to about two floors, is metabolically well tolerated despite the high mechanical power required, and is possible because of the slow V̇O2 on-kinetics.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The relationship between pectoral fin ray stiffness and swimming behavior in Labridae: insights into design, performance and ecology
    Brett R. Aiello, Adam R. Hardy, Chery Cherian, Aaron M. Olsen, Sihyun E. Ahn, Melina E. Hale, Mark W. Westneat
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb163360 doi: 10.1242/jeb.163360 Published 9 January 2018

    Summary: Interspecific differences exist in pectoral fin ray flexural stiffness. The spatial distribution of stiffness across the fin surface enables an advantageous bending regime for propulsion in each species.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The mechanics of head-supported load carriage by Nepalese porters
    G. J. Bastien, P. A. Willems, B. Schepens, N. C. Heglund
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3626-3634; doi: 10.1242/jeb.143875

    Highlighted Article: The low energy consumption of Nepalese porters while carrying load cannot be explained by a reduction of their muscular mechanical work.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Probability distributions of whisker–surface contact: quantifying elements of the rat vibrissotactile natural scene
    Jennifer A. Hobbs, R. Blythe Towal, Mitra J. Z. Hartmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2551-2562; doi: 10.1242/jeb.116186

    Highlighted Article: Simulations of rat whisking motions are used to quantify the probabilities of whisker–object contact in complex environments and to define the tactile natural scene.

  • LOCOMOTION AND SENSING OF WEAKLY ELECTRIC FISH
    Biomimetic and bio-inspired robotics in electric fish research
    Izaak D. Neveln, Yang Bai, James B. Snyder, James R. Solberg, Oscar M. Curet, Kevin M. Lynch, Malcolm A. MacIver
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 2501-2514; doi: 10.1242/jeb.082743
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Gait transitions and modular organization of mammal locomotion
    Ludovic Maes, Anick Abourachid
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 2257-2265; doi: 10.1242/jeb.082149
