Convergent evolution of a novel locomotor strategy implies that a fitness benefit may be associated with the new gait. Opportunities to study this phenomenon are often constrained by a lack of trans
Excel file containing pectoral fin and tail angles relative to the body axis measured across non-consecutive bouts of free rhythmic swimming. For each fish (n = 5) and trial (5 trials per fish), angle
Accurately quantifying an animal’s movement is crucial for developing a greater empirical and theoretical understanding of its behaviour, and for simulating biologically plausible movement patterns. H
Information was collected on the movement patterns of fish and elasmobranchs in Logan, and Albert River as well as southern Moreton Bay, using an underwater sensor array. Data were collected to assess
Fishes exhibit an astounding diversity of locomotor behaviors, from classic swimming with their body and fins to jumping, flying, walking, and burrowing. Fishes that use their body and caudal fin (BCF
