  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    History-dependent perturbation response in limb muscle
    Thomas Libby, Chidinma Chukwueke, Simon Sponberg
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb199018 doi: 10.1242/jeb.199018 Published 6 January 2020

    Summary: Muscle response to rapid, identical strain perturbations is history dependent, but is captured by a viscoelastic model with memory; the data and model show that the muscle perturbation response depends on locomotor frequency.

  • REVIEW
    Rethinking the evolution of the human foot: insights from experimental research
    Nicholas B. Holowka, Daniel E. Lieberman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb174425 doi: 10.1242/jeb.174425 Published 6 September 2018

    Summary: Recent biomechanical models of human foot function and experimental locomotion data from great apes suggest that the human foot evolved to facilitate both bipedal walking and running.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Update and extension of the ‘equivalent slope’ of speed-changing level locomotion in humans: a computational model for shuttle running
    Alberto E. Minetti, Gaspare Pavei
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb182303 doi: 10.1242/jeb.182303 Published 1 August 2018

    Summary: A revision/update of the ‘equivalent slope’ concept to estimate the metabolic cost of level locomotion at unsteady speed, and its application via a computational model to shuttle running.

  • REVIEW
    Scaling of avian bipedal locomotion reveals independent effects of body mass and leg posture on gait
    Monica A. Daley, Aleksandra Birn-Jeffery
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb152538 doi: 10.1242/jeb.152538 Published 22 May 2018

    Summary: We review how body size and leg morphology influence walking and running gaits across 21 species of birds spanning a >2500× range in mass from painted quail to ostrich.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    High activity before breeding improves reproductive performance by enhancing mitochondrial function and biogenesis
    Yufeng Zhang, Adam L. Brasher, Noel R. Park, Halie A. Taylor, Andreas N. Kavazis, Wendy R. Hood
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb177469 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177469 Published 6 April 2018

    Summary: Female mice that had access to a running wheel before mating had higher mitochondria respiration, biogenesis and reproductive outputs, indicating a positive carry-over effect to reproduction.

  • COMMENTARY
    Consequences of lost endings: caudal autotomy as a lens for focusing attention on tail function during locomotion
    Gary Gillis, Timothy E. Higham
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2416-2422; doi: 10.1242/jeb.124024

    Summary: We develop a framework for thinking about how tail loss can affect fitness through its effects on locomotion, and review results from past studies to inform and support this framework.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The rebound of the body during uphill and downhill running at different speeds
    A. H. Dewolf, L. E. Peñailillo, P. A. Willems
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2276-2288; doi: 10.1242/jeb.142976

    Summary: When running uphill or downhill, the bouncing mechanism of running progressively disappears with slope and speed to contain the increase in muscular power necessary to overcome the slope.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Modulation of work and power by the human lower-limb joints with increasing steady-state locomotion speed
    Anthony G. Schache, Nicholas A. T. Brown, Marcus G. Pandy
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2472-2481; doi: 10.1242/jeb.119156

    Summary: Faster steady-state locomotion speeds are not achieved by proportional increases in lower-limb joint work and average power.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Western and Clark's grebes use novel strategies for running on water
    Glenna T. Clifton, Tyson L. Hedrick, Andrew A. Biewener
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1235-1243; doi: 10.1242/jeb.118745

    Highlighted article: As the largest water-running animals, western and Clark's grebes use three novel strategies to produce the hydrodynamic forces necessary to stay above the water surface.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effect of temperature on leg kinematics in sprinting tarantulas (Aphonopelma hentzi): high speed may limit hydraulic joint actuation
    N. A. Booster, F. Y. Su, S. C. Adolph, A. N. Ahn
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 977-982; doi: 10.1242/jeb.111922

    Highlighted Article: Tarantulas extend their leg joints hydraulically. The coupling between in-series, hydraulically actuated joints was lowest at the highest temperature when the animals ran the fastest with the highest stride frequencies. The coordination of multiple, in-series hydraulically actuated joints may be limited by operating speed.
