  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Asymmetrical gait kinematics of free-ranging callitrichine primates in response to changes in substrate diameter and orientation
    Noah T. Dunham, Allison McNamara, Liza J. Shapiro, Taylor Phelps, Jesse W. Young
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb217562 doi: 10.1242/jeb.217562 Published 15 June 2020

    Summary: Free-ranging callitrichine primates adjust aspects of asymmetrical gait kinematics to promote stability when moving over arboreal substrates varying in diameter and orientation angle.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Fly eyes are not still: a motion illusion in Drosophila flight supports parallel visual processing
    Wael Salem, Benjamin Cellini, Mark A. Frye, Jean-Michel Mongeau
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb212316 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212316 Published 28 May 2020

    Summary: In fly flight, self-motion can give rise to a visual motion illusion, driven by perceptual aliasing. Robust object tracking on illusory panoramas supports parallel visual motion processing in flight.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    High aerodynamic lift from the tail reduces drag in gliding raptors
    James R. Usherwood, Jorn A. Cheney, Jialei Song, Shane P. Windsor, Jonathan P. J. Stevenson, Uwe Dierksheide, Alex Nila, Richard J. Bomphrey
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb214809 doi: 10.1242/jeb.214809 Published 10 February 2020

    Summary: Aerodynamic lift from gliding hawk and owl tails, revealed by tracking helium bubbles, is inconsistent with passive stability or minimizing induced drag, but indicates a role in reducing viscous drag.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Quantifying koala locomotion strategies: implications for the evolution of arborealism in marsupials
    Joshua L. Gaschk, Celine H. Frère, Christofer J. Clemente
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb207506 doi: 10.1242/jeb.207506 Published 17 December 2019

    Highlighted Article: Koalas possess a unique morphology for a marsupial; examination of their locomotion is used to determine the extent to which they have converged with other arboreal mammals such as primates.

  • 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
    Preferred walking speed on rough terrain: is it all about energetics?
    Koren Gast, Rodger Kram, Raziel Riemer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb185447 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185447 Published 30 April 2019

    Highlighted Article: On rough terrain, humans do not choose their walking speed based solely on metabolic energy minimization.

  • 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.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Limping following limb loss increases locomotor stability
    Simon Wilshin, Paul S. Shamble, Kyle J. Hovey, Ryan Harris, Andrew J. Spence, S. Tonia Hsieh
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb174268 doi: 10.1242/jeb.174268 Published 25 September 2018

    Highlighted Article: It is possible to increase the stability of a gait by limping over unstable phases and maximizing the time spent in the stable phases of a stride.

  • 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
    Asymmetry costs: effects of wing damage on hovering flight performance in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta
    María José Fernández, Marion E. Driver, Tyson L. Hedrick
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3649-3656; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153494

    Summary: Asymmetric wing damage in hawkmoths is approximately twice as costly as symmetric damage.
