The paper investigates the resting posture of bluegill sunfish, finding they rest closer to an unstable equilibrium at night than during the day.

This study measures the center of mass and buoyancy in bluegill sunfish to assess how swim bladder volume affects static stability, finding no correlation between swim bladder size and stability but a significant effect of orientation.

This study examines how axon regeneration in spinal transected lampreys relates to swimming performance, finding no direct link between axon regeneration and speed but strong correlations with wave frequency and efficiency.

This paper quantifies how the anterior body shape and movement of carangiform swimmers generate thrust through leading-edge suction, similar to an airfoil, and shows this contributes significantly to total thrust.

The paper examines red muscle activity in bluegill sunfish during forward accelerations, finding that co-activation of anterior muscles helps stiffen the body to improve performance.

This study examines how bluegill sunfish generate force for acceleration during swimming, finding they increase force per tail beat without substantially redirecting forces.
