Light level impacts locomotor biomechanics in a secondarily diurnal gecko, Rhoptropus afer

Locomotion through complex habitats relies on the continuous feedback from a number of sensory systems, including vision. Animals face a visual trade-off between acuity and light sensitivity that depends on light levels, which will dramatically impact the ability to process information and move quic...
