Hindlimb muscle lever systems differ among joints and stride phases in basilisk lizards
Meeting Abstract 119.2 Tuesday, Jan. 7 10:30 Hindlimb muscle lever systems differ among joints and stride phases in basilisk lizards BERGMANN, P.J.*; HARE-DRUBKA, M.; Clark University; Clark University pbergmann@clarku.edu Vertebrate limbs act as lever systems, and the lengths of limb bones and muscle insertion locations define the architecture of the lever systems, determining their functional properties. The […]

Built to hop functional specialization of the hindlimb of the desert kangaroo rat (Dipodomys deserti)
Meeting Abstract 119.1 Tuesday, Jan. 7 10:15 Built to hop: functional specialization of the hindlimb of the desert kangaroo rat (Dipodomys deserti) GUTMANN, A.K.*; MCGOWAN, C.P.; University of Idaho; University of Idaho agutmann@uidaho.edu Kangaroo rats hop bipedally whereas most other rodents exclusively use quadrupedal gaits. One hypothesis is that hopping evolved as a means of producing the […]
