... with the flapping aquatic flight of the bird wrasse Gomphosus varius . For this computational work, we used the geometry of the wrasse and its pectoral fin,and previously measured fin kinematics, as the starting points for computational investigation of three-dimensional (3-D) unsteady fluid dynamics. We performed...

... with natural variation, we compared the steady swimming performance (critical swimming speed) of four species of labrid fish ( Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis , Pseudocheilinus octotaenia , Gomphosus varius and Halichoeres bivittatus ) selected to form two pairs of closely related species that vary in fin shape...
