Description: Quantifying swimming kinematics of fishes often occurs in a lab setting using flumes, water treadmills, to examine movement. These methods rely on researchers to pick the animals swimming speed. We have been focusing on volitional kinematics in the lab where we quantify swimming as determined by the fish. However, our volitional swimming experiments are still limited to the space available in a… more

Description: Manatees, who use their vertebral column to propel themselves in swimming, are the product of a major evolutionary shift from land to water. This project explores the structure of trabecular (spongy) bone, which changes with force direction and magnitude, from the vertebral column of manatees. The goal of this research is to investigate the structural properties of manatee vertebral trabecular… more
