This study shows that turbulence increases fish locomotor variability and energy expenditure by causing fluctuations in hydrodynamic forces.

The paper investigates how fish exploit velocity gradients to passively produce thrust, reducing locomotor costs by 74%.

This study investigates circadian gene loss in perciform fishes across latitudes, finding greater loss in higher-latitude species and no circadian metabolic oscillations in some notothenioid species.

This paper introduces a two-tier approach to study kinematic modulation in fish schools, finding that schooling fish exhibit higher positional and kinematic modulation than solitary fish, aiding energy conservation.

The paper introduces PRAM, a decision matrix to distinguish individual physiological variation from experimental noise, showing aerobic metrics are more repeatable than non-aerobic ones in fish.

The paper examines how fish locomotor kinematics and energetics vary with environmental and biological factors, showing correlations between kinematic modulation and metabolic rate changes.

This study tracks giant danios in 3D to show they rarely form planar diamond schools, instead adopting a ladder formation that is more common and correlates with swimming speed.

This study shows that schooling fish reduce their energy expenditure in turbulent flow by 63-79% compared to solitary fish.
