Amphibiousness in fishes spans the actinopterygian tree from the earliest to the most
recently derived species. The land environment requires locomotor force production different …

Fins of fishes provide many examples of structures that are beautifully designed to power
and control movement in water; however, some species also use their fins for substrate …

Amphibious animals adapt their body coordination to compensate for changing substrate
properties as they transition between terrestrial and aquatic environments. Using …

Frictionally yielding media are a particular type of non-Newtonian fluids that significantly
deform under stress and do not recover their original shape. For example, mud, snow, soil …

Amphibious fishes moving from water to land experience continuous changes in
environmental forces. How these subtle changes impact behavioural transitions cannot be …

Many ecological factors influence animal movement, including properties of the media that
they move on or through. Animals moving in terrestrial environments encounter conditions …

Fishes are the longest persisting living vertebrates and as such, display an incredible array
of diversity. Variation in the tail, or caudal fin, is often a reflection of a fish's environment, and …

The goal of the present study was to determine which sensory cues the mangrove rivulus
Kryptolebias marmoratus, a quasi‐amphibious, hermaphroditic fish, uses to orient in an …

The fin-to-limb transition is heralded as one of the most important events in vertebrate
evolution. Over the last few decades our understanding of how limbs evolved has …

Limbs with digits evolved as sarcopterygian fish transitioned to a terrestrial life, giving rise to
modern tetrapods. Since the Devonian, most of the sarcopterygian fish diversity became …
