Evidence for a mass dependent step-change in the scaling of efficiency in terrestrial locomotion.
A reanalysis of existing data suggests that the established tenet of increasing efficiency of transport with body size in terrestrial locomotion requires re-evaluation. Here, the statistical model that described the data best indicated a dichotomy between the data for small (<1 kg) and large anim...
