Understanding the Influence of Context on Real-World Walking Energetics

This study examines whether people choose energetically optimal walking speeds in real-world contexts and finds they often walk faster than optimal, with context influencing gait patterns.

Dynamics and Energetics of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Fluke-and-Glide Gait

This paper models the fluke-and-glide gait of bottlenose dolphins and finds it reduces metabolic and mechanical costs of transport compared to continuous fluking.

Pose-gait analysis for cetaceans with biologging tags

This paper introduces an automated pipeline for analyzing cetacean gait from biologging tag data, achieving high accuracy in orientation and motion detection.

3-dimensional arenas for the assessment of C. elegans behavior

This paper introduces 3D-printed NGM arenas to study C. elegans behavior in 3D environments, showing that aging, physiological status, and prior experience affect obstacle crossing and egg-laying behavior.

Vision-based monitoring and measurement of bottlenose dolphins' daily habitat use and kinematics

This paper uses computer vision to track bottlenose dolphins and analyze their habitat use and kinematics in a managed environment.
