Journal Articles
Energetics of Terrestrial Locomotion of the Platypus Ornithorhynchus Anatinus
Available to Purchase
Journal:
Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2001) 204 (4): 797–803.
Published: 15 February 2001
...F. E. Fish; P. B. Frappell; R. V. Baudinette; P. M. Macfarlane ABSTRACT The platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus Shaw displays specializations in its limb structure for swimming that could negatively affect its terrestrial locomotion. Platypuses walked on a treadmill at speeds of 0.19–1.08 m s −1...

Published: 15 May 1999
...John D. Pettigrew ABSTRACT I will briefly review the history of the bill sense of the platypus, a sophisticated combination of electroreception and mechanoreception that coordinates information about aquatic prey provided from the bill skin mechanoreceptors and electroreceptors, and provide...

Energetics of Swimming by the Platypus Ornithorhynchus Anatinus : Metabolic Effort Associated With Rowing
Available to Purchase
Journal:
Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1997) 200 (20): 2647–2652.
Published: 15 October 1997
...F. E. Fish; R. V. Baudinette; P. B. Frappell; M. P. Sarre ABSTRACT The metabolism of swimming in the platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus Shaw was studied by measurement of oxygen consumption in a recirculating water flume. Platypuses swam against a constant water current of 0.45–1.0 m s −1 . Animals...
