Data and code for: Flight muscle power increases with strain amplitude and decreases with cycle frequency in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)

Code and data accompanying manuscript submission entitled "Flight muscle power increases with strain amplitude and decreases with cycle frequency in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)" by JW Bahlman, VB Baliga, and DL Altshuler.<br><br>The project uses a muscle work loop technique to examine the limitations of high frequency muscle contraction in the pectoralis muscle of zebra finches. We then compare the efficacy of varying muscle shortening velocity via changes to strain amplitude vs changes to cycle frequency.<br><br><br>The zip file contains all raw data, R code for data analyses and figure creation, and files for the 3D printing of a custom brace used during work loop procedures to keep the bird in place.<br><br>Please unzip the file and consult the README for further details.

本资源为JW Bahlman、VB Baliga与DL Altshuler投稿的题为《斑胸草雀（Taeniopygia guttata）飞行肌功率随应变幅度升高而增加、随循环频率升高而降低》的手稿的配套代码与数据集。<br><br>本研究采用肌肉功环技术（muscle work loop technique），探究斑胸草雀胸肌（pectoralis muscle）高频收缩的限制机制，随后对比通过调整应变幅度与调整循环频率两种方式调控肌肉缩短速度的效果差异。<br><br>本压缩包包含全部原始数据、用于数据分析与图表制作的R代码，以及功环实验流程中用于固定实验鸟类的定制支架的3D打印文件。<br><br>请解压该压缩包并查阅README文件以获取更多细节。
