Abstract
Power input increased linearly with speed and was closely associated with changes in cycle frequency. Minimum cost of transport of gypsy moth caterpillars was 4.5 times as high as predicted for vertebrates and arthropods with jointed framework skeletons. Reduced locomotor economy was associated with stride length only one-third or less than that for animals with solid skeletons.
摘要
功率输入随速度呈线性增加，与循环频率的变化密切相关。舞毒蛾毛虫的最低运输成本是预测具有关节框架骨骼的脊椎动物和节肢动物的 4.5 倍。运动经济性的降低与步长有关，只有三分之一或更少，而不是与具有实心骨骼的动物相同。
