Aquatic and terrestrial takeoffs require different hindlimb kinematics and muscle function in mallard ducks
Biewener, Andrew; Taylor-Burt, Kari (The Company of Biologists, 2020-06-25)Mallard ducks are capable of performing a wide range of behaviors including nearly vertical takeoffs from both terrestrial and aquatic habitats. The hindlimb plays a key role during takeoffs from both media. However, because ... -
Post-activation muscle potentiation and its relevance to cyclical behaviours
Biewener, Andrew; Taylor-Burt, Kari; Konow, Nicolai (The Royal Society, 2020-06)Muscle can experience post-activation potentiation (PAP), a temporary increase in force and rate of force development, when contractions are closely timed; therefore, cyclical behaviors are likely affected by PAP, as ...
