An extension to the collisional model of the energetic cost of support qualitatively explains trotting and the trot–canter transition
Journal Article
Usherwood, J. R. (in press). An extension to the collisional model of the energetic cost of support qualitatively explains trotting and the trot–canter transition. https://doi.org/10.1002/jez.2268

The majority of terrestrial mammals adopt distinct, discrete gaits across their speed range. Though there is evidence that walk, trot and gallop may be selected at speeds consistent with minimizing metabolic cost (Hoyt and Taylor, 1981, Nature, 291,...
