Mukherjee R, Trimmer B
J Comp Neurol
. 2019 Oct;
528(5):805-815.
PMID: 31644815
In addition to camouflage and chemical toxicity, many caterpillars defend themselves against predators with sudden sharp movements. For smaller species, these movements propel the body away from the threat, but...

Vaughan S, Lin H, Trimmer B
J Insect Sci
. 2018 Jun;
18(3).
PMID: 29878231
Animals that must transition from horizontal to inclined or vertical surfaces typically change their locomotion strategy to compensate for the relative shift in gravitational forces. The species that have been...

Mukherjee R, Vaughn S, Trimmer B
J Exp Biol
. 2018 May;
221(Pt 13).
PMID: 29724774
Because soft animals are deformable, their locomotion is particularly affected by external forces and they are expected to face challenges controlling movements in different environments and orientations. We have used...

Umedachi T, Kano T, Ishiguro A, Trimmer B
R Soc Open Sci
. 2017 Jan;
3(12):160766.
PMID: 28083114
All animals use mechanosensors to help them move in complex and changing environments. With few exceptions, these sensors are embedded in soft tissues that deform in normal use such that...

Orientation-dependent changes in single motor neuron activity during adaptive soft-bodied locomotion
Metallo C, Trimmer B
Brain Behav Evol
. 2015 Mar;
85(1):47-62.
PMID: 25765841
Recent major advances in understanding the organizational principles underlying motor control have focused on a small number of animal species with stiff articulated skeletons. These model systems have the advantage...

van Griethuijsen L, Banks K, Trimmer B
J Exp Biol
. 2013 Jan;
216(Pt 3):379-87.
PMID: 23325858
Aimed movements require that an animal accurately locates the target and correctly reaches that location. One such behavior is the defensive strike seen in Manduca sexta larva. These caterpillars respond...

Lin H, Trimmer B
J Biomech
. 2012 Jul;
45(13):2310-4.
PMID: 22776687
The demand for measuring forces exerted by animals during locomotion has increased dramatically as biomechanists strive to understand and implement biomechanical control strategies. In particular, multi-axial force transducers are often...

Baryshyan A, Woods W, Trimmer B, Kaplan D
PLoS One
. 2012 Feb;
7(2):e31598.
PMID: 22355379
Skeletal muscle tissue engineering has the potential to treat tissue loss and degenerative diseases. However, these systems are also applicable for a variety of devices where actuation is needed, such...

Aprille J, Lagace C, Modica-Napolitano J, Trimmer B
Integr Comp Biol
. 2011 Jun;
44(3):213-9.
PMID: 21676698
In light-producing cells (photocytes) of the firefly light organ, mitochondria are clustered in the cell periphery, positioned between the tracheolar air supply and the oxygen-requiring bioluminescent reactants which are sequestered...

Lin H, Slate D, Paetsch C, Luis Dorfmann A, Trimmer B
J Exp Biol
. 2011 Mar;
214(Pt 7):1194-204.
PMID: 21389205
Caterpillars can increase their body mass 10,000-fold in 2 weeks. It is therefore remarkable that most caterpillars appear to maintain the same locomotion kinematics throughout their entire larval stage. This...
