Three-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee joint [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The three-dimensional anatomy of the ostrich (Struthio camelus) knee (femorotibial, femorofibular, and femoropatellar) joint has scarcely been studied, and could elucidate certain mechanobiological properties of sesamoid bones.

Phalangeal joints kinematics during ostrich (Struthio camelus) locomotion [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The ostrich is a highly cursorial bipedal land animal with a permanently elevated metatarsophalangeal joint supported by only two toes. Although locomotor kinematics in walking and running ostriches have been examined, these studies have been largely ...

Sleep in ostrich chicks (Struthio camelus). [PDF]
Sleep, 2021 AbstractIt has been reported that adult ostriches displayed the longest episodes of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (up to 5 min) and more REM sleep (24% of the nighttime) than any other bird species. If the mammalian ontogenetic trend exists in the ostrich, then the amounts of REM and the duration of sleep episodes in young ostriches may be greater ...

Musculoskeletal modelling of an ostrich (Struthio camelus) pelvic limb: influence of limb orientation on muscular capacity during locomotion. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 We developed a three-dimensional, biomechanical computer model of the 36 major pelvic limb muscle groups in an ostrich (Struthio camelus) to investigate muscle function in this, the largest of extant birds and model organism for many studies of locomotor

Feather and skin development of ostriches Struthio camelus. [PDF]
J S Afr Vet Assoc, 2018 Information on feather and skin growth is important for the development of mathematical optimisation nutritional models for ostriches. Ostriches (n = 65) were subjected to a four-stage formulated growth diet programme (pre-starter, starter, grower and finisher), with declining protein and energy content. Nine birds were weighed, stunned, exsanguinated,

Phalangeal joints kinematics in ostrich (Struthio camelus) locomotion on sand. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In ostriches, the toes are the only body parts that contact loose sand surfaces. Thus, toe interphalangeal joint motions may play vital biomechanical roles.
