The principles of cascading power limits in small, fast biological and engineered systems
INTRODUCTION Mechanical power, whether for launched missiles or running humans, is
limited by the universal, physical trade-off between force and velocity. However, many …

Extreme positive allometry of animal adhesive pads and the size limits of adhesion-based climbing
Organismal functions are size-dependent whenever body surfaces supply body volumes.
Larger organisms can develop strongly folded internal surfaces for enhanced diffusion, but in …

Dual spring force couples yield multifunctionality and ultrafast, precision rotation in tiny biomechanical systems
Small organisms use propulsive springs rather than muscles to repeatedly actuate high
acceleration movements, even when constrained to tiny displacements and limited by inertial …

Adaptive introgression of a visual preference gene
Visual preferences are important drivers of mate choice and sexual selection, but little is known
of how they evolve at the genetic level. In this study, we took advantage of the diversity of …

A comparative morphological analysis of body and fin shape for eight shark species
Sharks are diverse and ecologically important predators and are also highly varied in their
biology and behaviour. Prior studies have posited basic relationships between body form and …

Trait compensation between boldness and the propensity for tail autotomy under different food availabilities in similarly aged brown anole lizards
Trait compensation denotes the situation in which individuals offset the costs of one trait with
the benefits of another trait. The phenomenon of trait compensation is best exemplified by a …

The Impact of Tail Loss on Stability during Jumping in Green Anoles (Anolis carolinensis)
Lizards that undergo caudal autotomy experience a variety of consequences, including
decreased locomotor performance in a number of cases. One mode of locomotion common to …

Light environment influences mating behaviours during the early stages of divergence in tropical butterflies
Speciation is facilitated when traits under divergent selection also act as mating cues.
