Effect of Substrates' Compliance on the Jumping Mechanism of Locusta migratoria
Locusts generally live and move in complex environments including different kind of substrates, ranging from compliant leaves to stiff branches. Since the contact force generates deformation of the substrate, a certain amount of energy is dissipated each time when locust jumps from a compliant subst...
