How does the body move during fish swimming? Tracking surface patterns using image cross-correlation gives velocity vectors directly, seen here on the head of a swimming bluegill. Very useful for directly quantifying velocity of different body regions! #locomotion#fishsci
Comparative Biomechanics just lost one of its founders, Stephen A. Wainwright. His humanity, generosity, and creativity lit a thousand mind-fires that are ablaze across wide swaths of biology, engineering, and art. With respect and gratitude.
