Long-tail Behavior in Locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2010 The locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits complex patterns. In particular, the worm combines mildly curved runs and sharp turns to steer its course. Both runs and sharp turns of various types are important components of taxis behavior.

Locomotion behavior changes in peripartum beef cows and heifers. [PDF]
J Anim Sci, 2019 Changes in locomotor activity of beef females during the 72 h prepartum were determined in 3 experiments: (i) a 2-yr study with spring-calving multiparous cows (Exp. 1; n = 34 and 27 for years 1 and 2, respectively); (ii) spring-calving primiparous (first pregnancy; n = 13) and multiparous (n = 21) dams (Exp. 2); and (iii) fall-calving multiparous cows

Cocaine modulates locomotion behavior in C. elegans.
PLoS ONE, 2009 Cocaine, a potent addictive substance, is an inhibitor of monoamine transporters, including DAT (dopamine transporter), SERT (serotonin transporter) and NET (norepinephrine transporter).

Locomotion selectively enhances visual speed encoding in mouse medial higher visual areas [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Mammalian visual systems are comprised of multiple brain areas with distinct functional roles. While functional specializations have been proposed in the mouse based on visual feature encoding, the extent to which these specializations are ...

Selection and the direction of phenotypic evolution
eLife, 2023 Predicting adaptive phenotypic evolution depends on invariable selection gradients and on the stability of the genetic covariances between the component traits of the multivariate phenotype.

Linking neural circuits to the mechanics of animal behavior in Drosophila larval locomotion
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023 The motions that make up animal behavior arise from the interplay between neural circuits and the mechanical parts of the body. Therefore, in order to comprehend the operational mechanisms governing behavior, it is essential to examine not only the ...

Mechanisms of Variability Underlying Odor-Guided Locomotion
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Changes in locomotion mediated by odors (odor-guided locomotion) are an important mechanism by which animals discover resources important to their survival. Odor-guided locomotion, like most other behaviors, is highly variable.

Exploring Neurobehaviour in Zebrafish Embryos as a Screening Model for Addictiveness of Substances
Toxics, 2021 Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide and is highly addictive. Nicotine is the main addictive compound in tobacco, but less is known about other components and additives that may contribute to tobacco addiction.

Phenotypic stasis with genetic divergence
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Whether or not genetic divergence in the short-term of tens to hundreds of generations is compatible with phenotypic stasis remains a relatively unexplored problem.
