• Constraint-Based Exclusion of Limb Poses for Reconstructing Theropod Dinosaur Locomotion (2009, background): “In extant animals, peak GRF magnitude positively correlates with speed (Alexander et al., 1979; McMahon and Cheng, 1990; Munro et al., 1987).”
• Keratin: Structure, mechanical properties, occurrence in biological organisms, and efforts at bioinspiration (2016, unknown): “Claws have to transmit and withstand substantial forces during locomotion, and must resist abrasive wear from contact with substrates [261,262].”
