Functional diversity in extreme environments: effects of locomotor style and substrate texture on the waterfall‐climbing performance of Hawaiian gobiid fishes (2006, background): “Because animals must repeatedly accelerate to begin moving again after pausing between locomotor bursts, the use of such intermittent locomotion can be energetically costly (Daniel & Webb, 1987; Alexander, 1989; Kramer & McLoughlin, 2001 ).”
Gap‐Crossing Decisions by the Red Squirrel, a Forest‐Dependent Small Mammal (2004, background): “Pausing rates are higher in riskier habitat as animals stop to scan for predators (McAdam & Kramer 1998; Kramer & McLaughlin 2001; Vásquez et al. 2002).”
Behavioral intermittence, Lévy patterns, and randomness in animal movement (2009, background): “The pausing periods along with changes in the duration, orientation, and speed of moves, form part of a dynamic system of intermittent locomotion by which animals adjust their locomotor behavior to changing circumstances (Kramer and McLaughlin 2001).”
Habitat deterioration affects body condition of lizards: A behavioral approach with Iberolacerta cyreni lizards inhabiting ski resorts (2007, background): “However, since moving at high speed is more costly than moving slower (Kramer and McLaughlin, 2001; Gleeson and Hancock, 2002), we expected that these males would suffer a loss of body condition, which might also affect their health state.”
Adaptive strategies for managing uncertainty may explain personality-related differences in behavioural plasticity (2012, background): “Conversely, when resources are spatially clumped and the cues for them are less conspicuous, sampling will require an investment of time (Dall and Johnstone 2002) and may also require that animals stop moving in order to process stimuli (Kramer and McLaughlin 2001).”
ANIMAL SEARCH STRATEGIES: A QUANTITATIVE RANDOM‐WALK ANALYSIS (2005, background): “We expect that further investigations about when and how organisms actively discretize their movements (Kramer and McLaughlin 2001, O’Brien et al. 1990) will facilitate the finding of adaptive mechanisms capable of optimizing random search statistics.”
Undulatory and oscillatory swimming (2019, background): “Fish practice intermittent swimming while hunting, fleeing a predator or pursuing a mate, and exhibit a wide range of ratios of burst-to-coast times (Kramer & McLaughlin 2001).”
RESOURCE USE IN ARBOREAL HABITATS: STRUCTURE AFFECTS LOCOMOTION OF FOUR ECOMORPHS OF ANOLIS LIZARDS (2004, background): “Few field studies have quantified the extent to which arboreal animals move intermittently or considered the significance of intermittent movement during undisturbed locomotion in nature (Kramer and McLaughlin 2001).”
A model of total swimming costs in turbulent flow for juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (2005, background): “The increase in the actual total swimming costs under turbulent conditions above those predicted by the forcedswimming model is consistent with the hypothesis that unsteady swimming movements, such as active accelerations and decelerations and changes in speed, are energetically more costly than ste”
Behavioral tradeoffs when dispersing across a patchy landscape (2005, background): “Many animals have been observed stopping frequently while moving (Anderson et al. 1997, Wiens et al. 1997), and some have hypothesized that this stop-and-go movement pattern serves to reduce risks of predation via enhanced vigilance (McAdam and Kramer 1998, Kramer and McLaughlin 2001, Vasquez et a”
