Drag reduction by streamwise surface grooves, or riblets, has been observed by engineers and has been suggested to apply to certain biological systems. Drag reductions as high as 8% have been observed (1), leading to practical nautical and aeronautic

The torque generated by a rotating joint comprises the useful force exerted by the joint on the external environment, and both the magnitude and distribution of torque through the step cycle during walking are important variables in understanding the

The patterns and variability of pinnation angle along the length of apodemes, and the scaling of apodeme surface area, were investigated in the American lobster (Homarus americanus) and the snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) to assess the morphological

The European green crab, Carcinus maenas, is an invasive species in eastern North America and has the potential to significantly impact wild and aquaculture shellfish in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada. To examine potential predation effect

The in vivo stress–strain and stress – strain rate relationships of the adductor muscle in a swimming scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) were predicted on the basis of detailed measured swimming movements and a recently developed dynamic model th

Scallop locomotion was investigated on the basis of an analysis of fluid forces acting on the body and the balance of the forces during swimming. A hydrodynamic model for unsteady jet propulsion was developed in which propulsion performance is charac

A potential flow model has been formulated for scallop swimming. Under the smalldisturbance approximation, the problem of the unsteady flow past the wing-like configuration of a scallop is separated into two linear sub-problems: the steady lifting pr

Light and electron microscopy and in vitro inflation experiments were conducted on the aortae of three different invertebrate species: the lobster Homarus americanus, the horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus and the whelk Busycon contrarium. Inflation e

The family Pectinaceae are the only bivalves that have been well documented as swimmers (DeMont, 1992), although Ensis minor has been observed to swim (McMahon and McMahon, 1983). The behaviour was once regarded only as an escape response (Gäde, 198

A mathematical model is described that predicts the body kinematics of tadpoles swimming in a straight line at constant velocity. The model is a forced beam with a variable moment of inertia and cross-sectional area. The beam is free at both ends and
