Relating neuromuscular control to functional anatomy of limb muscles in extant archosaurs (2019)
Journal Article
Cuff, A. R., Daley, M. A., Michel, K. B., Allen, V. R., Lamas, L. P., Adami, C., …Hutchinson, J. R. (2019). Relating neuromuscular control to functional anatomy of limb muscles in extant archosaurs. Journal of Morphology, 280(5), 666-680. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.20973

Electromyography (EMG) is used to understand muscle activity patterns in animals. Understanding how much variation exists in muscle activity patterns in homologous muscles across animal clades during similar behaviours is important for evaluating the...

The locomotor kinematics of Asian and African elephants: changes with speed and size
Journal Article
Hutchinson, J. R., Schwerda, D., Famini, D., Dale, R. H. I., Fischer, M. S., & Kram, R. (in press). The locomotor kinematics of Asian and African elephants: changes with speed and size. Journal of Experimental Biology, 209(19), 3812-3827. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.02443

For centuries, elephant locomotion has been a contentious and confusing challenge for locomotion scientists to understand, not only because of technical difficulties but also because elephant locomotion is in some ways atypical of more familiar quadr...

Journal Article
Regnault, S., Hermes, R., Hildebrandt, T., Hutchinson, J. R., & Weller, R. (in press). Osteopathology in the feet of rhinoceroses: Lesion type and distribution. Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 44(4), 918-927. https://doi.org/10.1638/2012-0277R1.1

An estimated 1,170 white (Ceratotherium simum), black (Diceros bicornis), greater one-horned (Rhinoceros unicornis), and Sumatran (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) rhinoceroses are kept in captivity worldwide, where they are a popular public attraction and...
