Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling tooth-prey interactions in sharks: the importance of dynamic testing.
TL;DR: A dynamic testing device that mimicked head-shaking behaviour in feeding large sharks by attaching teeth to the blade of a reciprocating power saw fixed in a custom-built frame to quantify cutting performance of teeth is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking ecomechanical models and functional traits to understand phenotypic diversity.

TL;DR: This work proposes a theoretical and practical framework that considers the role of changing environments and integrates functional organismal traits with the ecological variables, and outlines how to use the ecomechanical paradigm using drag-induced bending in trees as an example.
Journal ArticleDOI
Look before you leap: Visual navigation and terrestrial locomotion of the intertidal killifish Fundulus heteroclitus
TL;DR: The uprighting behavior that mummichogs perform between terrestrial jumps may provide an opportunity for these fish to receive visual information that allows them to safely return to the water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration drives rapid phenotypic evolution in flatfishes.
Kory M. Evans,Olivier Larouche,Sara-Jane Watson,Stacy C. Farina,Maria Laura Habegger,Matt Friedman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of cranial asymmetry in flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) from within Carangaria was studied, and it was found that cranial shape changes coordinated shape changes across the skull.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifunctional Structures and Multistructural Functions: Integration in the Evolution of Biomechanical Systems.
TL;DR: This introduction to the 2019 symposium "Multifunctional Structures and Multistructural Functions" discusses the role of integration among structures in the context of functional integration and multifunctionality and concludes with a synthesis of major themes and potential future directions.
