Escaping the flow: boundary layer use by the darter Etheostoma tetrazonum (Percidae) during benthic station holding
(The Company of Biologists, 2011)Aquatic habitats characterized by directional water flow (lotic environments) pose numerous challenges to their inhabitants, including the constant threat of dislodgement and downstream transport. As a result, many organisms ... -
Fish biorobotics: kinematics and hydrodynamics of self-propulsion
(The Company of Biologists, 2007)As a result of years of research on the comparative biomechanics and physiology of moving through water, biologists and engineers have made considerable progress in understanding how animals moving underwater use their ... -
Hydrodynamics of surface swimming in leopard frogs (Rana pipiens)
(The Company of Biologists, 2004)The kinematics of swimming frogs have been studied extensively in the past and, based on these results, hypotheses regarding the hydrodynamics of frog swimming can be generated. To test these hypotheses we used digital ... -
Locomotor function of the dorsal fin in rainbow trout: kinematic patterns and hydrodynamic forces
(The Company of Biologists, 2005)In this study, we examine the kinematics and hydrodynamics of the soft dorsal fin in a representative basal teleost, the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), during steady rectilinear locomotion at 0.5–2.0 body lengths ...
