Given there have been relative strides in Indigenous excellence in recent years, the number of university applications from Indigenous Australians rising, for example, do you think the film does enough to promote excellence and highlight some of the successes within Indigenous Australia?

This morphological continuum roughly follows the stride length differences in these taxa (Alexander and Jayes, 1983; Alexander and Maloiy, 1984), where cursorial mammals have the relatively shortest strides and non-cursors have intermediate relative stride lengths compared to cursors and primates.
As described in previous studies (Alexander and Maloiy, 1984), primates have relatively longer strides than other mammalian quadrupeds, and non-cursorial mammals have relative stride lengths that fall between primates and cursorial mammals.
For most analyses, ANCOVAs were used to compare relative stride lengths across taxa with Froude number as the covariate.
We used comparative data for a broad sample of mammals to determine whether mammalian limb mass distributions explain the broad relative stride length differences across taxa found by Alexander and Jayes (Alexander and Jayes, 1983).
We compared Fr (Eqn 1) and relative stride length (rSL; stride length divided by characteristic length, h) in a variety of species using two characteristic lengths (h): hip height (measured as the perpendicular distance from greater trochanter to the ground) and hindlimb COM position.
Second, as Alexander and Jayes originally noted (Alexander and Jayes, 1983), some groups of mammals (non-cursorial quadrupeds and non-human primates) seem to walk with longer relative stride lengths compared to other mammalian quadrupeds at similar Frs (Alexander and Maloiy, 1984; Demes et al., 1990; Raichlen, 2004; Raichlen, 2005a; Raichlen, 2005b; Raichlen, 2006).
However, the slopes describing the relationship between relative stride length and Fr calculated with COM as the characteristic length in infant baboons are not parallel to those of other taxa (see Results section), so ANCOVA is not an appropriate test (Raubenheimer and Simpson, 1992; Sokal and Rohlf, 1995).
In addition, Leurs et al. showed in a novel experiment that increasing limb length in humans through use of stilts results in a change in relative stride length at a given Froude number (Leurs et al., 2011), suggesting that limb geometry, rather than limb length alone, plays an important role in generating dynamic similarity.
Instantaneous joint angles are presented in degrees relative to stride duration.
High relative DTC for stride time, stride velocity and stride length were associated with divided attention at fast walking speed.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
