Wheel running in the wild

The importance of exercise for health and neurogenesis is becoming increasingly clear. Wheel running is often used in the laboratory for triggering enhanced activity levels, despite the common objection that this behaviour is an artefact of captivity and merely signifies neurosis or stereotypy. If wheel running is indeed caused by captive housing, wild mice are not expected to use a running whe...

Running head: GIZZARDS AND GRITS OF WILD CRANES

We analyzed the gizzards, and grits retained in the gizzards of 41 24 cranes that migrated to the Izumi Plain during the winter of 2015/2016 and died 25 there, either due to accident or disease. These included 31 Hooded Cranes (Grus 26 monacha) and 10 White-naped Cranes (G. vipio). We determined body weight, 27 gizzard weight, total grit weight and number per gizzard, and size, shape, and 28 su...

Mechanical power output during running accelerations in wild turkeys.

We tested the hypothesis that the hindlimb muscles of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) can produce maximal power during running accelerations. The mechanical power developed during single running steps was calculated from force-plate and high-speed video measurements as turkeys accelerated over a trackway. Steady-speed running steps and accelerations were compared to determine how turkeys alt...

Further into the Wild: Running Worldwide Trials of Mobile Systems

Many studies of ubiquitous computing systems involve deploying a system to a group of users who will be studied through direct observation, interviews and the gathering of system log data. However, such studies are often limited in the number of participants and duration of the trial, particularly if the researchers are providing the participants with hardware. Apple’s App Store and similar app...
