  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Shock attenuation in the human lumbar spine during walking and running
    Eric R. Castillo, Daniel E. Lieberman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb177949 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177949 Published 1 May 2018

    Highlighted Article: Human lumbar lordosis helps balance our bipedal trunk but also plays an important role in attenuating shocks transmitted through the spine during high-impact activities such as running.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Increasing trunk flexion transforms human leg function into that of birds despite different leg morphology
    Soran Aminiaghdam, Christian Rode, Roy Müller, Reinhard Blickhan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 478-486; doi: 10.1242/jeb.148312

    Summary: Mimicking a bird's horizontal trunk orientation leads to a bird-like leg function in humans despite different morphology of the segmented legs.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Differential sex-specific walking kinematics in leghorn chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) selectively bred for different body size
    Kayleigh A. Rose, Jonathan R. Codd, Robert L. Nudds
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2525-2533; doi: 10.1242/jeb.139709

    Summary: In two size classes of layer chicken, sexually dimorphic walking kinematics is linked to the differential muscle force, work and power demands of varied visceral and muscle proportions.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Control of motor activity in crayfish by the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone via motoneuron excitability and sensory-motor integration
    Julien Bacqué-Cazenave, Flora Bouvet, Pascal Fossat, Daniel Cattaert, Jean Paul Delbecque
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 1808-1818; doi: 10.1242/jeb.080176
