Bipedalism in human ancestors allowed for energy-efficient travel and the ability to see over tall grasses.

Quadrupedalism provides stability and speed, benefiting animals in various ecological niches.

Humans have evolved physiological traits that enable endurance running, which was likely used for persistence hunting.

Efficient locomotion helps animals patrol and defend their territory, which is critical for access to resources and mates.

Climbing adaptations in primates serve access to arboreal food sources and predator evasion.

The evolution of flight in birds and bats enhances foraging range and escape from ground-based threats.

Aquatic locomotion enables species to exploit underwater environments, leading to diverse evolutionary pathways.

Locomotive abilities that support migration are crucial for exploiting different habitats seasonally.

Stealthy movement enhances hunting success and survival by avoiding detection by prey and predators.

Coordinated locomotion in groups, such as herding or schooling, provides evolutionary benefits like protection and efficient foraging.

Locomotion that includes the use of tools can lead to more efficient food acquisition and habitat modification.
