Lateral movements of a massive tail influence gecko locomotion: an integrative study comparing tail restriction and autotomy
Tails are an intricate component of the locomotor system for many vertebrates. Leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) possess a large tail that is laterally undulated during steady locomotion. However, the tail is readily shed via autotomy, resulting in the loss of tail function, loss in body mass,...
