This provides an added complexity for latch-mediated spring-actuated (LaMSA) jumping animals because the spring-loaded system often works so quickly that neural feedback cannot adjust for errors caused by a yielding substrate. We studied a LaMSA jumper, the grasshopper, to determine how the mechanical properties of a substrate giving way under them would affect the kinematics of the jump. We measured this by allowing grasshoppers to leap from two diving boards, a long one that could generate a whole range of relative stiffnesses, and a shorter, much lighter, but stiffer board. Substrate stiffness was manipulated by then placing the grasshopper on different locations on that diving board, presenting from 30% of the grasshopper's leg stiffness to 200 times the grasshoppers leg stiffness. For platform stiffnesses that were less than that of the grasshopper, take-off velocity and kinetic energy were reduced, but jump elevation (the jump trajectory) was unaffected. For stiffnesses that were greater than that of the grasshopper, there was no effect on take-off velocity and kinetic energy. When jumping from an extremely light and stiff substrate, recoil of the surface allowed the grasshopper to recover some of the lost energy. Consequently, when jumping from substrates that are less stiff than they are (such as floppy leaves), grasshoppers must contend with lower take-off velocities, but jump direction is unaffected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.248018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,16]],"date-time":"2024-12-16T10:03:44Z","timestamp":1734343424000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Kinematics and energetics of the desert locust (<i>Schistocerca gregaria<\/i>) when jumping from compliant surfaces"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"227","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-4307-5426","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Taylor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life & Environmental Sciences, University of Lincoln, Joseph Banks Laboratories , Green Lane, Lincoln LN6 7DL ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9587-6149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"D.
