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 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 ...

There are about 28,000 species of bony fishes — the largest taxonomic group of vertebrates — and they have been around for a very long time (over 400 million years). So it’s no surprise that they have ...

The response of animals to novel environments forms the basis of open field tests, an assay extensively used in the study of animal behaviour. However, to assess an animal’s routine behaviour or ...

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 ...
