Superfetation, the ability to simultaneously carry multiple litters of different developmental
stages in utero, is a reproductive strategy that evolved repeatedly in viviparous animal …

Multiple preferred escape trajectories are explained by a geometric model incorporating prey's turn and predator attack endpoint

Y Kawabata, H Akada, K Shimatani, GN Nishihara… - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
The escape trajectory (ET) of prey–measured as the angle relative to the predator's
approach path–plays a major role in avoiding predation. Previous geometric models predict …

Experimental–numerical method for calculating bending moments in swimming fish shows that fish larvae control undulatory swimming with simple actuation

CJ Voesenek, G Li, FT Muijres, JL Van Leeuwen - PLoS biology, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Most fish swim with body undulations that result from fluid–structure interactions between the
fish's internal tissues and the surrounding water. Gaining insight into these complex fluid …

Reorientation and propulsion in fast-starting zebrafish larvae: an inverse dynamics analysis

CJ Voesenek, RPM Pieters, FT Muijres… - Journal of …, 2019 - journals.biologists.com
Most fish species use fast starts to escape from predators. Zebrafish larvae perform effective
fast starts immediately after hatching. They use a C-start, where the body curls into a C …
