To evaluate the capacity for phenotypic flexibility, a subset of adult fish from each rearing condition was then air-exposed for 14 days before the same traits were measured. In support of the developmental plasticity...

...Frank Seebacher; Jason Borg; Kathryn Schlotfeldt; Zhongning Yan ABSTRACT Locomotor performance is closely related to fitness. However, in many ecological contexts, animals do not move at their maximal locomotor capacity, but adopt a voluntary speed that is lower than maximal. It is important...

... is equivocal. Muscle contractile function is directly associated with locomotion. Here, we test the hypotheses that muscle mechanics determine locomotor performance and activity in zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) and thereby also affect risk-taking behaviour. We show that there is a mechanistic link between muscle...
