Journal ArticleDOI
Jumping mechanics of desert kangaroo rats.
TL;DR: In jumping kangaroo rats, the ankle joint is responsible for the highest work output; however, a substantial proportion of this work is being transferred over the biarticular ankle extensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamics of the Bladderwort Feeding Strike—Suction Power from Elastic Energy Storage
TL;DR: Estimates of elastic energy storage and frictional losses during suction events support the hypothesis that small suction feeders convert a large proportion of the elastic energy stored in the trap walls into kinetic energy of the inspired water, with little energy thermalized due to friction.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to Stick the Landing: Kangaroo Rats Use Their Tails to Reorient during Evasive Jumps Away from Predators.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed kangaroo rats swinging their tails around their bodies while airborne following escape jumps, and they hypothesized that the tails use their tails to not only stabilize their bodies, but also to perform aerial re-orientations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamics of the bladderwort feeding strike.
TL;DR: Internal flow speeds during artificially triggered feeding strikes in the absence of prey are measured and the energy efficiency and steady-state fluid speed decrease rapidly with decreasing channel diameter, setting a lower limit on practical bladderwort size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of Dipodomys species indicates that kangaroo rat hindlimb anatomy is adapted for rapid evasive leaping.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used morphological measurements of hind limb muscles and segment lengths from thawed frozen specimens of kangaroo rats (Dipodomys spp.) and found that hind limb muscle mass and cross-sectional area scaled with positive allometry.
