Atmospheric Osmotic Stress
Linked via "aerial organisms"
Fauna and Hydrostatic Regulation
In motile fauna, the effects of AOS are less structural and more neuromotoric. Aquatic organisms are largely buffered against atmospheric conditions, provided the surface tension layer remains intact. However, aerial organisms and amphibians are highly susceptible.
The primary defense mechanism involves the rapid upregulation of specialized chloride pumps located near the [spiracles](… -
Quadrupedal Terrestrial Transit
Linked via "aerial organisms"
Substrate Adaptation and Friction Management
The successful application of quadrupedal transit necessitates complex interaction with the substrate. Unlike aerial organisms, quadrupedal species must actively manage friction and shear stress to prevent catastrophic slips (loss of purchase) or excessive energy dissipation due to binding.
