Leaper


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, leaps.
  • (n.) A kind of hooked instrument for untwisting old cordage.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Whereas all extant vertical clingers and leapers share certain femoral traits (i.e., long femur, proximally restricted trochanters, ventrally raised patellar articular surface), Galagidae and Tarsiidae share features of the proximal femur (i.e., cylindrical head, large posterior expansion of articular surface onto the neck) that clearly distinguish them from the specialized leapers of the Malagasy Republic (Indriidae and Lepilemur).
  • (2) The tarsal bones referred to Arapahovius suggest that animals in this genus were habitual leapers.
  • (3) In small-bodied leapers we therefore find adaptations that increase the distance or length of time for propulsion and maximize speed.
  • (4) Accordingly, large-bodied leapers have adaptations that allow optimal use of available muscle force.
  • (5) In an arm-swinging movement, the long, heavy arms of the large-bodied leapers are effectively used to gain additional momentum.
  • (6) Species which exploit a 3-dimensional environment and execute fast and complicated head and body movements have a larger VC than closely related species confined to the ground or which are less skilled leapers.
  • (7) In order to relate the details of locomotor behaviour to a certain environment, the biomechanics of jumping are analyzed in five primate species: The three mainly arboreal prosimian species Galago moholi, the smallest and most specialized leaper of all, Galago garnettii, a medium-sized bushbaby with some capacities for jumping, and Lemur catta also with some abilities to jump.
  • (8) Contrary to the most common view, the euprimate morphotype was probably not a specialized leaper.
  • (9) Some traits suggested as being characteristic of vertical clingers and leapers (i.e., deep femoral condyles facing posteriorly, narrow patellar groove with prominent lateral margin, greater trochanter overhanging anterior aspect of shaft) are shown to be common to all prosimians except the slow-climbing lorisids.
  • (10) How does body size determine the locomotor performance and proportions of leapers?
  • (11) Not only the dentition shows different morphs, but also postcranial material represents two vertical clingers and leapers of different size.
  • (12) In addition, take-offs of the larger-bodied leapers are characterized by a regularly occurring arm swing movement, thus making additional use of nonhindlimb muscles for acceleration.
