Gait mechanics of a blind echolocating rodent: Implications for the locomotion of small arboreal mammals and proto-bats

Michael C. Granatosky et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that Vietnamese pygmy dormice employ ultrasonic echolocation to navigate in tree canopies, demonstrating similar spatiotemporal and kinematic patterns to other small-bodied arboreal species analyzed. Speed is primarily regulated by increasing stride frequency rather than length, with little change in dormice kinematics in response to substrate size. These findings suggest that ultrasonic scanning provides sufficient information for effective quadrupedal locomotion in arboreal environments.

Mechanics of Arboreal Locomotion in Swinhoe's Striped Squirrels: A Potential Model for Early Euarchontoglires

Jan Wolfer et al.

Summary: The study investigated how Swinhoe's striped squirrels adjust their locomotion on different supports, finding that they predominantly use asymmetrical gaits with a preference for full bounds. The squirrels made adjustments on inclined surfaces to increase stability and optimize the loading distribution between fore- and hind limbs. These findings suggest a preference for asymmetrical gaits in early members of the Euarchontoglires, shedding light on the ancestral lifestyle of this mammalian 'superclade'.

The Stabilizing Function of the Tail During Arboreal Quadrupedalism

Summary: The research demonstrates that arboreal animals maintain balance on narrow supports by adjusting tail angular momentum. Wild arboreal animals adjust tail movements to adapt to narrow and mobile substrates.

Acrobatic squirrels learn to leap and land on tree branches without falling

Nathaniel H. Hunt et al.

Summary: Arboreal animals, such as fox squirrels, demonstrate the synergistic roles of biomechanics and cognition in robust gap-crossing strategies by balancing gap distance and branch-bending compliance to make split-second decisions, quickly learning to modify impulse generation, and executing agile landing maneuvers. Their adaptive parkour behavior reveals an innovative solution for challenging leaps, showcasing the importance of biomechanics and cognition in decision-making during acrobatic maneuvers.
