In Fig. 1B, the heading was given incorrectly as 'Lizards <3g'. It should have read 'Lizards >3g', as stated in the figure caption. We apologise to the authors and readers for this error.

Total recoil: perch compliance alters jumping performance and kinematics in green anole lizards (Anolis carolinensis).
Jumping is a common form of locomotion for many arboreal animals. Many species of the arboreal lizard genus Anolis occupy habitats in which they must jump to and from unsteady perches, e.g. narrow branches, vines, grass and leaves. Anoles therefore often use compliant perches that could alter jump performance. In this study we conducted a small survey of the compliance of perches used by the ar...
متن کاملTail loss and narrow surfaces decrease locomotor stability in the arboreal green anole lizard (Anolis carolinensis).
Tails play an important role in dynamic stabilization during falling and jumping in lizards. Yet tail autotomy (the voluntary loss of an appendage) is a common mechanism used for predator evasion in these animals. How tail autotomy has an impact on locomotor performance and stability remains poorly understood. The goal of this study was to determine how tail loss affects running kinematics and ...
متن کاملLoading effects on jump performance in green anole lizards, Anolis carolinensis.
Locomotor performance is a crucial determinant of organismal fitness but is often impaired in certain circumstances, such as increased mass (loading) resulting from feeding or gravidity. Although the effects of loading have been studied extensively for striding locomotion, its effects on jumping are poorly understood. Jumping is a mode of locomotion that is widely used across animal taxa. It de...
متن کاملContext-dependent changes in motor control and kinematics during locomotion: modulation and decoupling.
Successful locomotion through complex, heterogeneous environments requires the muscles that power locomotion to function effectively under a wide variety of conditions. Although considerable data exist on how animals modulate both kinematics and motor pattern when confronted with orientation (i.e. incline) demands, little is known about the modulation of muscle function in response to changes i...
متن کاملHow forelimb and hindlimb function changes with incline and perch diameter in the green anole, Anolis carolinensis.
The range of inclines and perch diameters in arboreal habitats poses a number of functional challenges for locomotion. To effectively overcome these challenges, arboreal lizards execute complex locomotor behaviors involving both the forelimbs and the hindlimbs. However, few studies have examined the role of forelimbs in lizard locomotion. To characterize how the forelimbs and hindlimbs differen...
