Boundary layer flow effects on dissolved oxygen exchange and photosynthesis in scleractinic corals
Meeting Abstract 7.4 Friday, Jan. 4 Boundary layer flow effects on dissolved oxygen exchange and photosynthesis in scleractinic corals STOCKING, J.B.*; RIPPE, J.P.; REIDENBACH, M.A.; University of Virginia jbs4yq@virginia.edu To investigate the interaction between flow environment and coral photosynthesis, in-situ field measurements of boundary layer flow, photosynthetic quantum yield, and dissolved oxygen levels were obtained over the […]
Where’s the catch Examining the catch mechanism in anuran jumping using inverse dynamics
Meeting Abstract 6.2 Friday, Jan. 4 Where’s the catch? Examining the catch mechanism in anuran jumping using inverse dynamics. ASTLEY, H. C.*; ROBERTS, T. J.; Brown University henry_astley@brown.edu Many animals use catapult mechanisms to produce extremely rapid movements for escape or prey capture, resulting in power outputs far beyond the limits of muscle. In these catapults, muscle […]
Three-dimensional joint mechanics and kinematics of jumping lizards
Meeting Abstract 6.6 Friday, Jan. 4 Three-dimensional joint mechanics and kinematics of jumping lizards OLBERDING, JP*; HIGHAM, TE; Univ. of California, Riverside; Univ. of California, Riverside jolbe001@ucr.edu Hindlimb kinematics are often examined and related to locomotor performance in lizards, but establishing a causal link between individual joint movements and whole-animal performance requires an understanding of joint mechanics. […]
The basic mechanics of pronking, bounding or frog-hopping the costs of pitching accounts for much of the diversity of fast quadrupedal gaits
Meeting Abstract 6.1 Friday, Jan. 4 The basic mechanics of pronking, bounding or frog-hopping �” the costs of pitching accounts for much of the diversity of fast quadrupedal gaits. USHERWOOD, JR; The Royal Veterinary College jusherwood@rvc.ac.uk Quadrupeds show a fascinating range of gaits, both between species and across speeds. Accounting for the selection of these gaits, and […]
