Abstract:

The evolution of animal locomotion straddles two big areas—what are the major trends in locomotion across the clade of animals (Metazoa) and how should the many principles and patterns of locomotion be analyzed in the context of evolutionary relationships? The first question is a broad examination across the metazoan tree and the second is a methodological issue that is central to locomotor analyses given the current abundance of phylogenies and the availability of computer power. Yet one cannot exist without the other. We need proper analysis tools to figure out the evolution of animal locomotion, and we need effective comparative datasets and phylogenies to run meaningful analyses. The goals of this chapter are twofold—to glean the fundamentals of locomotor evolution and to consider the pathways for performing rigorous evolutionary biomechanical analyses.

Abstract:

This book provides a synthesis of the physical, physiological, evolutionary, and biomechanical principles that underlie animal locomotion. An understanding and full appreciation of animal locomotion requires the integration of these principles. Toward this end, we provide the necessary introductory foundation that will allow a more in-depth understanding of the physical biology and physiology of animal movement. In so doing, we hope that this book will illuminate the fundamentals and breadth of these systems, while inspiring our readers to look more deeply into the scientific literature and investigate new features of animal movement. Several themes run through this book. The first is that by comparing the modes and mechanisms by which animals have evolved the capacity for movement, we can understand the common principles that underlie each mode of locomotion. A second is that size matters. One of the most amazing aspects of biology is the enormous spatial and temporal scale over which organisms and biological processes operate. Within each mode of locomotion, animals have evolved designs and mechanisms that effectively contend with the physical properties and forces imposed on them by their environment. Understanding the constraints of scale that underlie locomotor mechanisms is essential to appreciating how these mechanisms have evolved and how they operate. A third theme is the importance of taking an integrative and comparative evolutionary approach in the study of biology. Organisms share much in common. Much of their molecular and cellular machinery is the same. They also must navigate similar physical properties of their environment. Consequently, an integrative approach to organismal function that spans multiple levels of biological organization provides a strong understanding of animal locomotion. By comparing across species, common principles of design emerge. Such comparisons also highlight how certain organisms may differ and point to strategies that have evolved for movement in diverse environments. Finally, because convergence upon common designs and the generation of new designs result from historical processes governed by natural selection, it is also important that we ask how and why these systems have evolved.

Full text

Abstract:

Jumping, climbing and suspensory locomotion are specialized locomotor mechanisms used on land and in the air. Jumping is used for rapid launches from substrates. Climbing and suspensory movements enable locomotion up, under and through vertically-structured habitats, such as forests. Elastic energy storage is particularly important for jumping and catapult systems and we address the core concepts of power amplification that are exemplified in nature’s extreme jumpers. We examine the diverse mechanisms of attachment that characterize animals that can grasp and adhere to a diversity of structures. We conclude the chapter by examining the integration of biological capabilities with engineering innovations in these systems.

Abstract:

The energetic costs of terrestrial locomotion are placed in the context of the fuel sources that animals use for generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and how these fuel sources affect an animal’s capacity for sustainable aerobic metabolism. Aerobic capacity and energy use are closely linked to an animal’s thermoregulatory strategy. Patterns of energy use across terrestrial gaits, sloped substrates and level ground are examined alongside explanatory models. The energetics of terrestrial locomotion is compared with the energetics of swimming and flight. Whereas the support of an animal’s weight against gravity dominates the cost of moving on land and through air, overcoming resistive forces of drag strongly affects the energy cost of movement through water and air. The physical properties of land, water and air influence how energy use changes with the speed of movement. Given these energetic considerations, animals use different locomotor strategies and mechanisms to avoid fatigue and increase endurance capacity.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter considers locomotion in living machines, focusing particularly on mammals and on the possibility of designing mammal-like quadrupedal robots. Locomotion is the movement of an organism or a machine from one place to the other, covering a defined minimal distance. In organisms, locomotion usually is driven by a central element and/or appendices. Vertebrates are characterized by the existence of a spine and the mechanics of an endoskeletal system. The amphibio-reptile type of vertebrate locomotion shows oscillations of the body stem mainly in the horizontal, which are coupled to the ground by legs with two long segments. The vertical oscillations of the body stem in the mammal type of quadrupedal locomotion are coupled to the ground by legs with three long segments. For any size of animal and any allometric relation between mass and ground reaction force the resonance mechanisms of gravitational and spring-mass-pendula are tuned to one each other. Elongated feet allow torque exchange with the substrate.
