Somewhere in time - temporal factors in vertebrate movement analysis

Article Abstract:

Vertebrate movement is a combination of functional acts wherein each act occurs in a certain amount of time. Despite the fact that the Eshkol-Wachman movement notation provides a valuable tool in describing particular joint movements, there is a need for an automatic system that will objectively decide whether the movement has reached completion. It is therefore suggested that the EW method should be combined with a temporal analysis based on an automatic, nonhuman-observer type of movement description.

The mobility gradient from a comparative phylogenetic perspective

Article Abstract:

Ilan Golani described vertebrate behavior as a transition from lateral to forward and then to vertical movement. The differential use of fins and legs were also described. Another approach was presented wherein parallel transformations across vertebrate phylogeny were suggested. Lower vertebrate locomotion was perceived to depend on lateral trunk movements to the more specialized forms of 'pure' forward transport produced by the appendages or facilitated by dorsoventral vertical movements.

A mobility gradient in the organization of vertebrate movement: the perception of movement through symbolic language

Article Abstract:

The Eshkol-Wachman movement notational system was utilized to describe the organization of whole-animal movement which was perceived to be inadequately described by ordinary language. The system describes progression of animal behavior from immobility to increasing complexity and unpredictability. Nonselective dopaminergic drugs such as apomorphine and amphetamine affect these movements towards the opposite direction, moving with decreasing spatial complexity and increased stereotypy.
