Perturbation

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Wings as inertial appendages: how bats recover from aerial stumbles
    David B. Boerma, Kenneth S. Breuer, Tim L. Treskatis, Sharon M. Swartz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb204255 doi: 10.1242/jeb.204255 Published 16 October 2019

    Highlighted Article: Bats rapidly recover from substantial disturbances to body orientation within one wingbeat, relying primarily upon inertial torques generated from left–right asymmetry in wingbeat kinematics.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Ground reaction forces intersect above the center of mass even when walking down visible and camouflaged curbs
    Johanna Vielemeyer, Eric Grießbach, Roy Müller
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb204305 doi: 10.1242/jeb.204305 Published 19 July 2019

    Highlighted Article: In human walking, ground reaction forces are directed to a point above the center of mass to promote whole-body stability. This is also observed in camouflaged curb negotiation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Avoiding topsy-turvy: how Anna's hummingbirds (Calypte anna) fly through upward gusts
    Marc A. Badger, Hao Wang, Robert Dudley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb176263 doi: 10.1242/jeb.176263 Published 4 February 2019

    Summary: Hummingbirds flying through intense upward gusts experience pronounced downward pitching motions (i.e. nose dives). In response, they interrupt flapping, hold the wings dorsally, and angle and fan the tail.

  • METHODS & TECHNIQUES
    Development of a vortex generator to perturb fish locomotion
    Deeksha Seth, Brooke E. Flammang, George V. Lauder, James L. Tangorra
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 959-963; doi: 10.1242/jeb.148346

    Summary: Development and calibration of a vortex generator to investigate the stiffness of fish fins during natural swimming.
