Mechanical loading of primate fingers on vertical rock surfaces
South African Journal of Science, 2021 Mechanical loading of finger bones (phalanges) can induce angular curvature, which benefits arboreal primates by dissipating forces and economising the recruitment of muscles during climbing.

Electrolytic lesions within central complex neuropils of the cockroach brain affect negotiation of barriers [PDF]
, 2010 Animals must negotiate obstacles in their path in order to successfully function within natural environments. These actions require transitions from walking to other behaviors, many of which are more involved than simple reflexes.
