Getting around when you’re round Quantitative analysis of the locomotion of the thick-spined brittlestar (Ophiocoma echinata)
Meeting Abstract 91.2 Friday, Jan. 7 Getting around when you’re round: Quantitative analysis of the locomotion of the thick-spined brittlestar (Ophiocoma echinata). ASTLEY, H.C.; Brown University henry_astley@brown.edu The gaits of bilaterally symmetrical animals have been extensively studied and show remarkable convergence, even between phyla which have evolved limbs independently (e.g. tetrapods & arthropods). However, little data exists […]
