Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...

Many animals, including apex predators, move in groups. We know this collective behavior is fundamental to the animal's ability to move in complex environments, but less is known about what drives the ...

A school of giant danio (Devario aequipinnatus) swimming in the ‘water treadmill’ ­– swim-tunnel respirometer – for the measurements of the whole-animal metabolic rate while the water velocity is ...
