Amphibious fish have evolved a remarkable suite of locomotory strategies that enable them to navigate both aquatic and terrestrial environments. These species exhibit a range of adaptations—from ...

Researchers at the Intelligent Biomimetic Design Lab at Peking University have developed a bio-signal framework showing that fish muscles do far more than generate swimming motion. In a series of ...

Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...

Waves and eddies : effects on fish behavior and habitat distribution / Paul W. Webb, Aline Cotel and Lorelle A. Meadows -- Biomechanics of rheotactic behavior in fishes / R.W. Blake and K.H.S. Chan -- ...

Researchers from Peking University have conducted a series of studies on fish muscles. The research shows that the muscles ...

Many animals, including apex predators, move in groups. We know this collective behavior is fundamental to the animal's ability to move in complex environments, but less is known about what drives the ...

A school of giant danio (Devario aequipinnatus) swimming in the ‘water treadmill’ ­– swim-tunnel respirometer – for the measurements of the whole-animal metabolic rate while the water velocity is ...
