Optimal leap angle of legged and legless insects in a landscape of uniformly distributed random obstacles
We investigate theoretically the ballistic motion of small legged insects and legless larvae after a jump. Notwithstanding their completely different morphologies and jumping strategies, some legged and legless animals have convergently evolved to jump with a take-off angle of 60°, which differs sig...
