Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
J Exp Biol 211:3478-89. 2008..Body reorientation prior to changes in direction might be a mechanism to maintain the head and body aligned with the direction of travel and, thus, maximizing spatial accuracy in three-dimensionally complex environments...
Whole-body kinematics of a fruit bat reveal the influence of wing inertia on body accelerationsJose Iriarte-Diaz
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
J Exp Biol 214:1546-53. 2011..These results highlight the crucial importance of the incorporation of inertial effects of wing motion in the analysis of flapping flight...
Sources of variance in temporal and spatial aspects of jaw kinematics in two species of primates feeding on foods of different propertiesJose Iriarte-Diaz

The effect of body size on the wing movements of pteropodid bats, with insights into thrust and lift productionDaniel K Riskin
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
J Exp Biol 213:4110-22. 2010..Our results demonstrate that for medium- to large-sized bats, the ways that bats modulate their wing kinematics to produce thrust and lift over the course of a wingbeat cycle are independent of body size...
Kinematic plasticity during flight in fruit bats: individual variability in response to loadingJose Iriarte-Diaz
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, United States of America
PLoS ONE 7:e36665. 2012..The kinematic plasticity and functional redundancy observed in bat flight can have evolutionary consequences, such as an increase potential for morphological and kinematic diversification due to weakened locomotor trade-offs...
In vivo bone strain and finite-element modeling of the craniofacial haft in catarrhine primatesCallum F Ross
Organismal Biology and Anatomy, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA
J Anat 218:112-41. 2011..Relatively high strain magnitudes in the anterior root of the zygoma suggest that the morphology of this region may be important for resisting forces generated during feeding...

Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA
Bioinspir Biomim 1:S10-8. 2006..Data synthesis of several discrete realizations suggests a 'cartoon' of the wake structure during the entire wing beat cycle. Considerable work remains to be done to confirm and amplify these results...
