Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying the complexity of bat wing kinematics.

TL;DR: This work describes an application of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for assigning importances to kinematic variables, using dimensional complexity as a metric, and uncovers three groups of joints that move together during flight by using POD to quantify correlations of motion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct measurements of the kinematics and dynamics of bat flight.

TL;DR: Experimental measurements and analysis of the flight of bats are presented, including kinematic analysis of high-speed stereo videography of straight and turning flight, and measurements of the wake velocity field behind the bat, which suggests a 'cartoon' of thewake structure during the entire wing beat cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential scaling of locomotor performance in small and large terrestrial mammals

TL;DR: The scaling of relative locomotor performance proved to be non-linear when the entire range of body masses was considered and showed a differential scaling between small and large mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo bone strain and finite-element modeling of the craniofacial haft in catarrhine primates

TL;DR: New in vivo bone strain data are combined with published data from the supraorbital region and zygomatic arch to evaluate the validity of a finite‐element model (FEM) of a macaque cranium during mastication and suggest the morphology of this region may be important for resisting forces generated during feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innovative Approaches to the Relationship Between Diet and Mandibular Morphology in Primates

TL;DR: It is argued that better data are needed on the relationship between dietary categories, food material and geometric properties, the amount of time/cycles associated with different feeding behaviors, and mandible stress and strain patterns if the authors are to understand fully relationships between mandibular morphology and diet in primates.
