....,2000 ; Graham and Dickson,2000). In addition, shifts in the pattern of RM vascular supply may have established the basis for counter-current heat transfer and for the origin of endothermy (Graham and Dickson, 2000 , 2001). Fishes in the family Scombridae such as the mackerels (tribe Scombrini...

...D. Bernal; C. Sepulveda; O. Mathieu-Costello; J. B. Graham SUMMARY Tunas (family Scombridae) and sharks in the family Lamnidae are highly convergent for features commonly related to efficient and high-performance(i.e. sustained, aerobic) swimming. High-performance swimming by fishes requires...

...Jeanine M. Donley; Kathryn A. Dickson ABSTRACT The swimming kinematics of two active pelagic fishes from the family Scombridae were compared to test the hypothesis that the kawakawa tuna (Euthynnus affinis) uses the thunniform mode of locomotion, in which the body is held more rigid and undergoes...

...Chugey Sepulveda; Kathryn A. Dickson ABSTRACT Tunas (Scombridae) have been assumed to be among the fastest and most efficient swimmers because they elevate the temperature of the slow-twitch, aerobic locomotor muscle above the ambient water temperature (endothermy) and because of their streamlined...

...Kathryn A. Dickson ABSTRACT Tunas (family Scombridae) maintain muscle temperatures (T m) elevated significantly above ambient water temperature (T a) by using vascular counter-current heat exchangers (retia mirabilia) to conserve metabolic heat generated by continuous contraction of red muscle...
