Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Lacking an external shell and a rigid endoskeleton, octopuses exhibit a remarkable flexibility in their movements. Bipedal locomotion is perhaps the most iconic example in this regard.

Deriving shape-based features for C. elegans locomotion using dimensionality reduction methods [PDF]
, 2016 High-throughput analysis of animal behavior is increasingly common following the advances of recording technology, leading to large high-dimensional data sets. This dimensionality can sometimes be reduced while still retaining relevant information.

Quantification of the influence of drugs on zebrafish larvae swimming kinematics and energetics [PDF]
, 2020 The use of zebrafish larvae has aroused wide interest in the medical field for its potential role in the development of new therapies. The larvae grow extremely quickly and the embryos are nearly transparent which allows easy examination of its internal ...

Physics of Microswimmers - Single Particle Motion and Collective Behavior
, 2014 Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are only possible due to locomotion.

An information theory based behavioral model for agent-based crowd simulations [PDF]
, 2010 Crowds must be simulated believable in terms of their appearance and behavior to improve a virtual environment’s realism. Due to the complex nature of human behavior, realistic behavior of agents in crowd simulations is still a challenging problem.

Foraging behavior and locomotion of the invasive Argentine ant from winter aggregations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The collective behavior of ant colonies, and locomotion of individuals within a colony, both respond to changing conditions. The invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) thrives in Mediterranean climates with hot, dry summers and colder, wet winters ...

Neuronal Control of Swimming Behavior: Comparison of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Model Systems [PDF]
, 2011 Swimming movements in the leech and lamprey are highly analogous, and lack homology. Thus, similarities in mechanisms must arise from convergent evolution rather than from common ancestry.

High frequency of pauses during intermittent locomotion of small South American gymnophthalmid lizards (Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae) [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2004 We studied the locomotor behavior of two closely-related species of Gymnophthalmini lizards, Vanzosaura rubricauda and Procellosaurinus tetradactylus, that was imaged under laboratory conditions at a rate of 250 frames/s with a high-speed video camera ...
