Journal ArticleDOI
Bats : biology and behaviour
TL;DR: The evolution and diversity of bats, community ecology and the interactions between bats and other organisms, and their interactions with other organisms are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish swimming: patterns in muscle function.
TL;DR: The way that fish generate muscle power and convert it into thrust through the body and caudal fin does indeed vary, however, several features appear to be common to virtually all species studied and suggest where future effort should be directed if muscle function in swimming fish is to be better understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuning in to fish swimming waves: body form, swimming mode and muscle function
TL;DR: This work has compared the kinematics and muscle activity patterns from seven species of fish with different body forms and swimming modes and proposed a model which yields a consistent pattern, with at least three extremes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Old World fruit bats can be long–distance seed dispersers through extended retention of viable seeds in the gut
TL;DR: It is demonstrated regular daytime (>12 hours) retention of food and viable fig seeds in the gut of the Old World fruit bat Cynopterus sphinx: a behaviour not previously reported for any frugivorous bat.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanical properties of fast and slow skeletal muscles of the mouse in relation to their locomotory function.
TL;DR: The mechanical properties of soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles from the mouse were studied using the work loop technique and produced maximal power output in vitro when operating at mean sarcomere lengths of 2.58 microns and 2.71 microns.
