The Effects of Substrate on the Bipedal Hopping of Kangaroo Rats
Meeting Abstract 17.4 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:15 The Effects of Substrate on the Bipedal Hopping of Kangaroo Rats ECKWRIGHT, MJ*; MCGOWAN, CP; SHELLOOE, L; University of Idaho; University of Idaho; Gonzaga University eckw7684@vandals.uidaho.edu In the wild, animals live on a wide variety of substrates including sand, snow, leaf-litter, and so on. These various substrates exhibit a wide […]
Net joint work provides limited insight into muscle-tendon unit function during incline hopping by kangaroo rats
Meeting Abstract 17.5 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:30 Net joint work provides limited insight into muscle-tendon unit function during incline hopping by kangaroo rats MCGOWAN, C.P.; University of Idaho cpmcgowan@uidaho.edu In a recent inverse dynamics analysis of incline hopping, we showed that the proportion of net joint work supplied by each joint is similar across a wide range […]

Effect of gravidity on jump performance and muscle physiology in the American locust
Meeting Abstract 17.2 Saturday, Jan. 4 10:45 Effect of gravidity on jump performance and muscle physiology in the American locust KIRKTON, S. D.*; CARROLL, J. P.; Union College; Union College kirktons@union.edu Trade-offs exist between different physiological characteristics. In terrestrial animals, the trade-off between gravidity (or load) on striding locomotion has been well documented. However, the effect of […]
Spatial and temporal variation in phenotypic selection in the lizard Anolis sagrei
Meeting Abstract 16.4 Saturday, Jan. 4 11:00 Spatial and temporal variation in phenotypic selection in the lizard Anolis sagrei WARNER, D.A.*; HARRISON, A.; REEDY, A.; University of Alabama at Birmingham; Harvard University; University of Virginia dawarner@uab.edu Populations often experience substantial spatial and temporal variation in environmental and demographic features. This variation can impact the strength and form […]
