BIOMECHANICS OF AN AMPHIBIOUS FISH: MORPHOLOGY, KINEMATICS, KINETICS, AND MOTOR CONTROL OF THE MANGROVE RIVULUS, KRYPTOLEBIAS MARMORATUS (CYPRINODONTIFORMES)
… along with describing the morphology of their axial musculature. I predicted these fish would generate forces in a direction that would result in maximum lateral displacement for the purposes of trying to avoid a predator, find another body of water, or to search for food on land. I also …
