locomotor

Exposure to constant bright light causes pigeons to lose their regular locomotor and feeding patterns, and goldfish that are normally active in daytime likewise lose their own consistent patterns of activity and rest.

Tricycles are used by riders with locomotor dysfunction and balance issues such as cerebral palsy or hemiplegia.

However, the diversity of locomotor behaviors in living apes and the incompleteness of the fossil record have hampered the development of a clear picture of human bipedalism's origins.

If confirmed, he notes, it would add to the small but growing pile of evidence for play in invertebrates—and would be the first instance of a type called “locomotor play” in these animals.

Intriguingly, the pattern of locomotor diversity is not limited to these early chapters of human evolution.
