Morphology as a key to behavioural flexibility: body shape and swimming variability in the dimorphic crucian carp
Swimming trajectories of length-matched deep-bodied and shallow-bodied crucian carp were quantified in the laboratory using motion analysis software and compared in terms of swimming velocity, turning behaviour and associated coefficients of variation. The mean velocities of the two morphs were s...
