In ethology, animal locomotion is any of a variety of methods that animals use to move from one place to another. Some modes of locomotion are (initially)...

Animal Locomotion: An Electro-photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movements is a series of scientific photographs by Eadweard Muybridge...

Terrestrial locomotion has evolved as animals adapted from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Locomotion on land raises different problems than that...

Animal locomotion on the surface layer of water is the study of animal locomotion in the case of small animals that live on the surface layer of water...

The study of animal locomotion is a branch of biology that investigates and quantifies how animals move. Kinematics is the study of how objects move,...

Locomotion in space Terrestrial locomotion Animal locomotion Climbing Crawl (disambiguation) Flight Fish locomotion (swimming, others) Gait analysis Horse...

Fish locomotion is the various types of animal locomotion used by fish, principally by swimming. This is achieved in different groups of fish by a variety...

Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees. In habitats in which trees are present, animals have evolved to move in them. Some animals may scale...

Undulatory locomotion is the type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward. Examples of this type of...

Several organisms are capable of rolling locomotion. However, true wheels and propellers—despite their utility in human vehicles—do not play a significant...

Muybridge's Complete human and animal locomotion: all 781 plates from the 1887 Animal locomotion, Volume 3, Page 1268 on the Internet Archive Phillip Prodger...

terrestrial animals retain some capacity to swim, however some have returned to the water and developed the capacities for aquatic locomotion. Most apes...

Arachnid locomotion is the various means by which arachnids walk, run, or jump; they make use of more than muscle contraction, employing additional methods...

work on animal locomotion, which influenced the development of cinematography; Scottish naturalist James Bell Pettigrew studies on animal locomotion, documented...

(/ˈdɪdʒɪtɪˌɡreɪd/) locomotion is walking or running on the toes (from the Latin digitus, 'finger', and gradior, 'walk'). A digitigrade animal is one that stands...

A number of animals are capable of aerial locomotion, either by powered flight or by gliding. This trait has appeared by evolution many times, without...

biological property of an organism describing its lack of a means of self-locomotion. Sessile organisms for which natural motility is absent are normally immobile...

Various marine animals are capable of aerial locomotion, i.e., jumping out of the water and moving through air. Some possible reasons for this behavior...

costly but very fast locomotion. The study of animal locomotion is typically considered to be a sub-field of biomechanics. Locomotion requires energy to...

limbs of animals, including humans, during locomotion over a solid substrate. Most animals use a variety of gaits, selecting gait based on speed, terrain...

Most of the robots have some type of locomotion system. Thus, in this article different modes of animal locomotion and few examples of the corresponding...

expedition. Muybridge is known for his pioneering chronophotography of animal locomotion between 1878 and 1886, which used multiple cameras to capture the...

anatomical animal structure, it is used for locomotion. The distal end is often modified to distribute force (such as a foot). Most animals have an even...

studies and his work on the zoopraxiscope. Historians and theoreticians have proposed that Muybridge's work on animal locomotion influenced a number of...

For his studies with the University of Pennsylvania, published as Animal Locomotion (1887), Muybridge also took photos from six angles at the same instant...

morphological characteristics are therefore required in animal species that primarily depend on fluidic locomotion. Because the properties of air and water are so...

the sponges and placozoans—animal bodies are differentiated into tissues. These include muscles, which enable locomotion, and nerve tissues, which transmit...

major texts on biology. It sets out the general principles of animal locomotion. All animals "possess an inborn spirit (pneuma sumphuton) and exercise their...

locomotion consists of swimming, whereas terrestrial locomotion encompasses walking, 'crutching', jumping, digging as well as covering. Some animals such...

critical role in spinal locomotion. Experiments on spinal animals showed that when one limb is held with the hip flexed, locomotion on that side stops while...
