Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Justin T Baum"
- Justin T Baum's research focuses on the locomotor performance of the brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) in arboreal environments, particularly how different incline and peg spacings affect their movement and kinematics.
- In a 2013 study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, Baum investigated the influence of branch spacing and orientation on the maximal speeds and locomotion of this species.
- The findings highlight that snakes exhibit unique adaptations to traverse varying arboreal structures, indicating that branch dynamics play a significant role in their locomotor strategies.
