Sentence examples for terrestrial movements from inspiring English sources

Qualitative kinematic comparisons yielded stereotyped kinematics of terrestrial movements on land, irrespective of ecotype.

The similarity in the preparatory curling motions in genera distributed among two largely aquatic fish families (i.e., blennies and gobies) suggests that these basic terrestrial movements have an ancestral origin preceding amphibious behavior, and may be more broadly observed among other amphibious genera.

Other methods of terrestrial movement also involve at least some resistance by the environment but usually less than the first.

Many aquatic vertebrates, whose limbs are often short and poorly adapted for terrestrial movement, are restricted to crawling when on land.

These constraints suggest that the selective pressure that produced this novel form of locomotion was the need for effective suspensory and terrestrial movement.

Using these techniques we inferred regions of relative ecological importance to the Gourma elephants, protection of which is essential for the preservation of this unique terrestrial movement system.

The skin is smooth, but the leathery texture of the hands and feet facilitate terrestrial movement.

Although Alticus and Andamia exhibit the highest degrees of terrestriality, high speed video revealed that the aquatic, amphibious, and terrestrial blennies studied here all initiate terrestrial movement from a stereotypic posture: the tail is curled towards the head, forming a C-shape with the body, and then extended to push the body forward (Fig. 2).

During this transport time hatchlings were actively crawling around inside the bucket, a behaviour that is similar to their terrestrial movement from the nest to the sea.

What has really challenged the assumption of terrestrial movement across a land bridge is the articulation of a coastal migration model in which people could have followed the "kelp highway" from Japan to Baja, California and then to Latin and South America [54].

In 'A human-computer collaborative workflow for the acquisition and analysis of terrestrial insect movement in behavioral field studies', Reda et al. addresses the problem of the characterization and understanding of the insect's movements.
