X-ray study of subsurface locomotion of a sand swimming lizard the effect of material preparation
Meeting Abstract 104.4 Wednesday, Jan. 7 X-ray study of subsurface locomotion of a sand swimming lizard: the effect of material preparation MALADEN, R.D.*; GOLDMAN, D.I.; Georgia Institute of Technology; Georgia Institute of Technology rmaladen@gatech.edu Animals that move within desert sand contend with material that can display solid and fluid-like behavior and can exist in a range of […]
Visualizing internal structural movements during soft-bodied crawling using phase-contrast X-ray microvideography
Meeting Abstract 104.2 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Visualizing internal structural movements during soft-bodied crawling using phase-contrast X-ray microvideography SIMON, M.A.*; SMITH, D.; TRIMMER, B.A.; Tufts University, Medford, MA; Tufts University, Medford, MA; Tufts University, Medford, MA michael.simon@tufts.edu In soft-bodied animals, the movements of internal tissues cannot be isolated from those of muscles involved in locomotion. Furthermore, internal tissue […]
Tail autotomy and escape performance in a stream side salamander
Meeting Abstract 104.5 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Tail autotomy and escape performance in a stream side salamander HENNINGSEN, J*; HERMAN, R; IRSCHICK, D; University of Massachusetts Amherst; University of Massachusetts Amherst; University of Massachusetts Amherst justinh@bio.umass.edu Tail autotomy and the effects thereof have been extensively studied in squamates. However, this trait has evolved independently in a number of […]
Anaconda locomotion Gait transitions and a novel form of terrestrial locomotion
Meeting Abstract 104.3 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Anaconda locomotion: Gait transitions and a novel form of terrestrial locomotion YOUNG, B.A.; University of Massachusetts at Lowell Bruce_Young@uml.edu Snakes have traditionally been divided into "sit and wait" ambushers and active foragers. The former group is typified by slow moving heavy-bodied snakes that rely on venom (vipers) or constriction (pythons) to […]
Alternate pathways in the evolution of body elongation, locomotor performance and kinematics in two clades of lizards
Meeting Abstract 104.1 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Alternate pathways in the evolution of body elongation, locomotor performance and kinematics in two clades of lizards. BERGMANN, P.J.*; IRSCHICK, D.J.; University of Arizona; University of Massachusetts Amherst pjbergma@email.arizona.edu Variation in body shape is associated with variation in function in many animals. Body elongation and limb reduction has evolved repeatedly, frequently […]
