Symposium on Mechanics and Physiology of Animal Swimming (1991 : Plymouth, England)

Call Number	591.1/852
Author	Symposium on Mechanics and Physiology of Animal Swimming (1991 : Plymouth, England)
Title	Mechanics and physiology of animal swimming / edited by Linda Maddock, Quentin Bone, Jeremy M.V. Rayner. The Mechanics & Physiology of Animal Swimming
Physical Description	1 online resource (x, 250 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	Functional patterns of swimming bacteria / J.O. Kessler [and others] -- Buoyancy and swimming in marine planktonic protists / C. Febvre-Chevalier, J. Febvre -- Role of fins in the competition between squid and fish / J.A. Hoar [and others] -- Biology of fish swimming / P.W. Webb -- Swimming physiology of pelagic fishes / J.B. Graham [and others] -- Mechanical design of the fish muscular system / L.C. Rome -- How do fish use their myotomal muscle to swim? In vitro simulations of in vivo activity patterns / J.D. Altringham. Timing of lateral muscle strain and EMG activity in different species of steadily swimming fish / C.S. Wardle, J.J. Videler -- Swimming in the lamprey: modelling the neural pattern generation, the body dynamics and the fluid mechanics / J.C. Carling, G. Bowtell, T.L. Williams -- Swimming capabilities of Mesozoic marine reptiles: a review / J.A. Massare -- Stone, bone or blubber? Buoyancy control strategies in aquatic tetrapods / M.A. Taylor -- Functional anatomy of the flight apparatus in penguins / R. Bannasch. Energy conservation by formation swimming: metabolic evidence from ducklings / F.E. Fish.
Summary	Aquatic organisms swim in a variety of ways, from jet propulsion to ciliary action: they swim at a wide range of speeds and span a vast size range, from bacteria to protists, to the largest whales. One of the most fascinating aspects of aquatic locomotion is the remarkable sets of adaptations that have been evolved for different purposes. This volume brings together research on a wide range of swimming organisms, with an emphasis on the biomechanics, physiology and hydrodynamics of swimming in or on water. Several chapters deal with different aspects of fish swimming, from the use of different 'gaits' to the operation of the locomotor muscles. All chapters are by recognized authorities in their different fields, and all are accessible to biologists interested in aquatic locomotion.

Summary	Aquatic organisms swim in a variety of ways, from jet propulsion to ciliary action: they swim at a wide range of speeds and span a vast size range, from bacteria to protists, to the largest whales. One of the most fascinating aspects of aquatic locomotion is the remarkable sets of adaptations that have been evolved for different purposes. This volume brings together research on a wide range of swimming organisms, with an emphasis on the biomechanics, physiology and hydrodynamics of swimming in or on water. Several chapters deal with different aspects of fish swimming, from the use of different 'gaits' to the operation of the locomotor muscles.
