Maternal food restriction during pregnancy affects offspring development and swimming performance in a placental live-bearing fish
ABSTRACTHow pregnant mothers allocate limited resources to different biological functions such as maintenance, somatic growth, and reproduction can have profound implications for early life development and survival of offspring. Here, we examined ...

Elastic energy storage across speeds during steady-state hopping of desert kangaroo rats ( Dipodomys deserti )
ABSTRACTSmall bipedal hoppers, including kangaroo rats, are not thought to benefit from substantial elastic energy storage and return during hopping. However, recent species-specific material properties research suggests that, despite relative thi...

On the feeding biomechanics of nectarivorous birds
ABSTRACTNectar-feeding birds employ unique mechanisms to collect minute liquid rewards hidden within floral structures. In recent years, techniques developed to study drinking mechanisms in hummingbirds have prepared the groundwork for investigati...

Genetic variation in haemoglobin is associated with evolved changes in breathing in high-altitude deer mice
ABSTRACTPhysiological systems often have emergent properties but the effects of genetic variation on physiology are often unknown, which presents a major challenge to understanding the mechanisms of phenotypic evolution. We investigated whether ge...

Behavioural responses of threespine stickleback with lateral line asymmetries to experimental mechanosensory stimuli
ABSTRACTBehavioural asymmetry, typically referred to as laterality, is widespread among bilaterians and is often associated with asymmetry in brain structure. However, the influence of sensory receptor asymmetry on laterality has undergone limited...
