Consequences of Volcanic Ash Deposition on the Locomotor Performance of the Phymaturus spectabilis Lizard from Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2013-12)
The locomotor performance of lizards depends on their morphological and physiological adaptations to the habitat. However, when the habitat changes dramatically, for example by a volcanic eruption, the performance of lizards ...
Influência do sistema histaminérgico cerebelar no comportamento locomotor e ansiedade de camundongos
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Fisioterapia - PPGFtCâmpus São Carlos, 2018-01-16)
The cerebellum is an important structure of the central nervous system with participation in motor and non-motor functions. The histaminergic system has a major role on the cerebellar neuronal circuit, but its function is ...
Locomotor and metabolic activities of Gymnostreptus olivaceus (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida) at different photoperiod conditions
(Elsevier B.V., 1995-11-01)
In the present investigation the locomotor and the metabolic activity of Gymnostreptus olivaceus were studied, using 24-hr cycles at different photoperiods and constant temperature and RH. Locomotor activity was studied ...
Behavioral, physiological and morphological correlates of parasite intensity in the wild Cururu toad (Rhinella icterica)
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-12-01)
Large numbers of parasites are found in various organs of anuran amphibians, with parasite intensities thought to modulate the host's Darwinian fitness traits. Interaction between the anuran hosts and their multiple parasites ...
The evolution of jumping performance in anurans: morphological correlates and ecological implications
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009)
We investigated the evolution of anuran locomotor performance and its morphological correlates as a function of habitat use and lifestyles. We reanalysed a subset of the data reported by Zug (Smithson. Contrib. Zool. 1978; ...

Effects of pregnancy on body temperature and locomotor performance of velvet geckos
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-04)
Pregnancy is a challenging period for egg laying squamates. Carrying eggs can encumber females and decrease their locomotor performance, potentially increasing their risk of predation. Pregnant females can potentially ...
Differential scaling of locomotor performance in small and large terrestrial mammals
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2002)
It has been observed that the relationship between
locomotor performance and body mass in terrestrial
mammals does not follow a single linear trend when the entire range of body mass is considered. Large taxa tend to ...
