As gravity-bound, flat-land primates, we struggle to fully imagine the fluid lives of fish, marine mammals, and birds as they push and pull their way through a three-dimensional aqueous realm. Through observing systems and telemetry, scientists are discovering marvelous adaptations in how marine animals contend with seawater, which both opposes and leverages locomotion as animals swim, dive, lunge, or simply stay put. In this talk Dr. David Secor will review the mechanics and behaviors of marine animals as they school, feed, migrate, and persevere.
Join us at Chesapeake Biological Laboratory for this free public event, which is part of the Science for Citizens series to showcase innovative research being pioneered by CBL scientists. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis for this free public seminar.
