Podcast Episode: Mastering the Forest - The Biomechanics of Leaping Tarsiers

Welcome to our podcast! In this episode, we explore the biomechanics of "Vertical Clinging and Leaping" (VC&L) in the Western Tarsier
. Tune in to discover how these tiny primates select specific large-diameter sapling trunks for takeoff to maximize energy, and medium-diameter supports for landing to minimize musculoskeletal shock
