Rogers S, Cullen D, Labonte D, Sutton G, Vanden Broeck J, Burrows M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Dec; 122(1):e2415625121. PMID: 39715430
Resilin, an elastomeric protein with remarkable physical properties that outperforms synthetic rubbers, is a near-ubiquitous feature of the power amplification mechanisms used by jumping insects. Catapult-like mechanisms, which incorporate elastic...

Taylor J, Deeming D, Sutton G
J Exp Biol . 2024 Dec; 227(24). PMID: 39676724
Animals often leap from substrates that give way under them, such as leaves, soft ground or flexible branches. This provides an added complexity for latch-mediated spring-actuated (LaMSA) jumping animals because...

Harrison S, Sutton G, Herrel A, Deeming D
J Anat . 2024 Sep; 246(2):299-315. PMID: 39315554
Jaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume. Bite force is a function of the force exerted by the jaw musculature and applied...

Sukhnandan R, Chen Q, Shen J, Pao S, Huan Y, Sutton G, et al.
Biol Cybern . 2024 Jun; 118(3-4):165-185. PMID: 38922432
The coordination of complex behavior requires knowledge of both neural dynamics and the mechanics of the periphery. The feeding system of Aplysia californica is an excellent model for investigating questions...

Li Y, Webster-Wood V, Gill J, Sutton G, Chiel H, Quinn R
Biol Cybern . 2024 May; 118(3-4):187-213. PMID: 38769189
Studying the nervous system underlying animal motor control can shed light on how animals can adapt flexibly to a changing environment. We focus on the neural basis of feeding control...

Rogers S, Gill J, Skalski De Campos A, Wang K, Kaza I, Fan V, et al.
J Exp Biol . 2024 Apr; 227(8). PMID: 38584490
The mechanical forces experienced during movement and the time constants of muscle activation are important determinants of the durations of behaviours, which may both be affected by size-dependent scaling. The...

Goode C, Woodrow C, Harrison S, Deeming D, Sutton G
J Comp Physiol B . 2023 Oct; 193(6):597-605. PMID: 37857900
The Orthoptera are a diverse insect order well known for their locomotive capabilities. To jump, the bush-cricket uses a muscle actuated (MA) system in which leg extension is actuated by...

Goode C, Sutton G
J Comp Physiol B . 2023 Jan; 193(2):145-153. PMID: 36715704
Locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) jump using a latch mediated spring actuated system in the femur-tibia joint of their metathoracic legs. These jumps are exceptionally fast and display angular rotation immediately after...
9.
Sutton G, St Pierre R, Kuo C, Summers A, Bergbreiter S, Cox S, et al.
J Exp Biol . 2022 Jul; 225(14). PMID: 35863219
Small organisms use propulsive springs rather than muscles to repeatedly actuate high acceleration movements, even when constrained to tiny displacements and limited by inertial forces. Through integration of a large...

Feller K, Sutton G, Gonzalez-Bellido P
J Exp Biol . 2020 Jan; 223(Pt 4). PMID: 31988162
Mantis shrimp strikes are one of the fastest animal movements, despite their occurrence in a water medium with viscous drag. Since the strike is produced by a latch-mediated spring-actuated system...
