Constraints on starting and stopping: behavior compensates for reduced pectoral fin area during braking of the bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus
2005
Journal of Experimental Biology
Much of the locomotion of animals in nature involves starts and stops, which are often associated either with physical obstacles in the environment or the use of resources. However, laboratory investigations of animal locomotion commonly go to great lengths to elicit steady locomotion of animals in areas devoid of obstacles that might impede the forward progress. Consequently, even for groups of animals such as fishes, for which locomotion has been studied intensively (reviewed in Webb and
