The influence of load carrying on the energetics and kinematics of terrestrial locomotion in a diving bird

The application of artificial loads to mammals and birds has been used to provide insight into the mechanics and energetic cost of terrestrial locomotion. However, only two species of bird have previously been used in loading experiments, the cursorial guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) and the locomoto...
