    Progressive tracking: a novel procedure to facilitate manual digitization of videos
    Maja Mielke, Peter Aerts, Chris Van Ginneken, Sam Van Wassenbergh, Falk Mielke
    Biology Open 2020 9: bio055962 doi: 10.1242/bio.055962 Published 6 November 2020

    Summary: Progressive tracking is a novel procedure for manual point digitization in markerless videos. It allows for tracking points efficiently without the need to click all individual frames.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) shift toward aerodynamically efficient flight kinematics in response to an artificial load
    Anthony B. Lapsansky, Jennifer A. Igoe, Bret W. Tobalske
    Biology Open 2019 8: bio042572 doi: 10.1242/bio.042572 Published 6 June 2019

    Summary: When equipped with an artificial load, zebra finch diverge from their typical flap-bounding pattern of flight, potentially reducing their muscular efficiency, and adopt more aerodynamically efficient kinematics.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effect of initial body orientation on escape probability of prey fish escaping from predators
    Hibiki Kimura, Yuuki Kawabata
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio023812 doi: 10.1242/bio.023812 Published 16 July 2018

    Summary: Our predator-prey experiments reveal that prey's initial body orientation relative to a predator affects the flight initiation distance and turn duration of prey and consequently affects escape probability.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Investigation of feet functions of large ruminants with a decoupled model of equivalent mechanism
    Qun Zhang, Kun Xu, Xilun Ding
    Biology Open 2017 6: 407-414; doi: 10.1242/bio.023630

    Summary: This study shows that level and soft grounds are best for symmetric and asymmetric digits, respectively, as revealed by kinematic analysis using a decoupled equivalent mechanism of the foot of ruminants.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Dining dichotomy: aquatic and terrestrial prey capture behavior in the Himalayan newt Tylototriton verrucosus
    Egon Heiss, Marie De Vylder
    Biology Open 2016 5: 1500-1507; doi: 10.1242/bio.020925

    Summary: Tylototriton verrucosus uses lingual prehension for terrestrial prey capture and switches to suction feeding for aquatic strikes. This flexible prey capture behavior enables efficient food acquisition in two very different habitats.

  • METHODS & TECHNIQUES
    3D for the people: multi-camera motion capture in the field with consumer-grade cameras and open source software
    Brandon E. Jackson, Dennis J. Evangelista, Dylan D. Ray, Tyson L. Hedrick
    Biology Open 2016 5: 1334-1342; doi: 10.1242/bio.018713

    Summary: Argus is a free and open source toolset for using consumer grade cameras to acquire 3D kinematic data in field settings.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Inter- vs intra-individual variation and temporal repeatability of escape responses in the coral reef fish Amblyglyphidodon curacao
    Maïwenn Jornod, Dominique G. Roche
    Biology Open 2015 4: 1395-1399; doi: 10.1242/bio.013508

    Summary: Quantification of the inter- and intra-individual variation in behavioural and kinematic components of escape performance of the tropical damselfish Amblyglyphidodon curacao found no evidence of habituation or fatigue due to repeated stimulations.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Fast-starting after a breath: air-breathing motions are kinematically similar to escape responses in the catfish Hoplosternum littorale
    Paolo Domenici, Tommy Norin, Peter G. Bushnell, Jacob L. Johansen, Peter Vilhelm Skov, Morten B. S. Svendsen, John F. Steffensen, Augusto S. Abe
    Biology Open 2015 4: 79-85; doi: 10.1242/bio.20149332
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Kinematics of swimming and thrust production during powerstroking bouts of the swim frenzy in green turtle hatchlings
    David T. Booth
    Biology Open 2014 3: 887-894; doi: 10.1242/bio.20149480
  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Markerless 3D motion capture for animal locomotion studies
    William Irvin Sellers, Eishi Hirasaki
    Biology Open 2014 3: 656-668; doi: 10.1242/bio.20148086
