... aerobic flight muscle efficiency scaling heart mass avian energetics Aerodynamic considerations of bird flight suggest that, for geometrically similar animals, the biomechanical power required to fly at the minimum power speed ( P min ) is relatively greater for large species than for smaller...

..., so that maintaining a constant contraction frequency and work per stroke should result in an increased swimming speed. However, increasing speed causes exponential increases in drag, thereby reducing mechanical versus muscle efficiency. To investigate these competing factors, we have developed...
