Ontogenetic Scaling Of Anatomical Mechanical Advantage Of The Fore- And Hind Limb Musculature Of Catarrhines: Implications For The Juvenile Risk Aversion Hypothesis
Connie D. Fellmann
Connie Fellmann is currently a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. Jesse Young’s lab in the department of Anatomy & Neurobiology at Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine & Pharmacy (NEOUCOM), in Rootstown, Ohio, as well as an assistant professor in the department of Biology & Toxicology at Ashland University. Her research focuses on the interplay between growth, development, and the biomechanics of locomotion in extant primates to understand how these factors impact fitness across the lifespan of animals, particularly juveniles. Current research projects focus on 1) examination of arboreal stability in primates using three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics and 2) examination of locomotor performance and fitness in eastern cottontail rabbits.
