Aquatic takeoffs require faster leg muscle contractions than terrestrial takeoffs in mallard ducks
Meeting Abstract 85-5 Saturday, Jan. 6 11:00 – 11:15 Aquatic takeoffs require faster leg muscle contractions than terrestrial takeoffs in mallard ducks TAYLOR-BURT, KR*; GILLESPIE, K; BIEWENER, AA; Harvard University; Harvard University; Harvard University karitaylorburt@fas.harvard.edu Mallard ducks are capable of nearly vertical takeoffs from both aquatic and terrestrial environments. The leg provides propulsive force for takeoffs in […]
