    Energy conservation by collective movement in schooling fish

    Yangfan Zhang, George V Lauder
    Fish schools showed an U-shaped metabolism-speed curve and reduced the energy use per tail beat up to 56% at high swimming speeds compared to solitary fish.

    Energetic and physical limitations on the breaching performance of large whales

    Paolo S Segre, Jean Potvin ... Jeremy A Goldbogen
    Muscle power-generating capabilities, and not energetic limitations, limit the breaching abilities of the largest whales.

    Flagellar energetics from high-resolution imaging of beating patterns in tethered mouse sperm

    Ashwin Nandagiri, Avinash Satish Gaikwad ... Ranganathan Prabhakar
    Calculations of flagellar energetics from beating patterns in sperm reveal that internal dissipation by dynein motors and other passive structures within the flagellum significantly exceeds external hydrodynamic dissipation.

    Mapping spatial patterns to energetic benefits in groups of flow-coupled swimmers

    Sina Heydari, Haotian Hang, Eva Kanso
    Fish swimming in groups can either conserve or expend energy during collective movement, depending on their spatial position within the school.

    Flagellar energy costs across the tree of life

    Paul E Schavemaker, Michael Lynch
    Prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella follow a common trend in swimming cost-effectiveness, but eukaryotic flagella are too large for cells with prokaryote volumes, yielding insight into flagellar dissimilarity between taxa.

    In-line swimming dynamics revealed by fish interacting with a robotic mechanism

    Robin Thandiackal, George Lauder
    Fish in the thrust wake of a flapping foil reduce tail-beat frequencies, synchronize with oncoming vortices, and swim energetically more efficiently.

    Phenotypic plasticity as an adaptation to a functional trade-off

    Xiao Yi, Antony M Dean
    A plastic behavior in Escherichia coli is enabled by a single amino acid replacement in adaption to changing environments.

    Endosymbiotic selective pressure at the origin of eukaryotic cell biology

    Parth K Raval, Sriram G Garg, Sven B Gould
    All the characteristic traits of the eukaryotic cell, the basic unit of all macroscopic life, commenced to originate in a prokaryote as means to serve an endosymbiont today known as mitochondria.

    Animal Behavior: Whale breaching says it loud and clear

    Alexander J Werth, Charles L Lemon
    A whale leaping above the surface expends an enormous amount of energy, displaying its health and strength to peers and potential mates.

    Climate-driven deoxygenation elevates fishing vulnerability for the ocean's widest ranging shark

    Marisa Vedor, Nuno Queiroz ... David W Sims
    Habitats of satellite-tracked blue sharks were shifted surfaceward by an oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) at depth thereby increasing their susceptibility to capture by longline fishing focused above the OMZ.
