This is quite a nostalgic bit of research for me as claymation was something of a teenage hobby for me, I was obsessed with the work of internet claymation big man Knox and his funnies inspired me to create my own little animations. Unfortunately this was before the age of freely available digital cameras and I filmed mine on an old hi-8 vidcam otherwise I'd post some of the immature crap I made. Here's a link to knox's korner.
Can't really research Claymation without mentioning Aardman Animation's and Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit. So...
Also being a bit of a Star Wars fan I wanted to point out that Taun-tauns (hairy camel horse things on Hoth) AT-ATs and AT-STs (chicken walker robot things) were all shot using stop motion.
Here's a couple lovely little animations using stop motion. They communicate the music they are set to really well.
