Acceleration-based clustering reveals frequent gait switching in sprint sled dogs
Benjamin Seleb, Saad Bhamla
Continuous video is difficult to obtain during field studies of sprint sled dogs, limiting analysis of stride-to-stride variation during load-pulling gallop. We developed an accele…

Moo-ving mountains: grazing agents drive terracette formation on steep hillslopes
Benjamin Seleb, Louis Gonzalez, Atanu Chatterjee +1
Terracettes, striking, step-like landforms that stripe steep, vegetated hillslopes, have puzzled scientists for more than a century. Competing hypotheses invoke either slow mass-wa…

Gait Transitions in Load-Pulling Quadrupeds: Insights from Sled Dogs and a Minimal SLIP Model
Jiayu Ding, Benjamin Seleb, Heather J. Huson +2
Quadrupedal animals employ diverse galloping strategies to optimize speed, stability, and energy efficiency. However, the biomechanical mechanisms that enable adaptive gait transit…
