Planktonic propulsion: the hydrodynamics, kinematics, and design of metachrony
Locomotion is a key characteristic of almost all forms of life and is often accomplished, whether on land, in water, or in the air, by reciprocal motion of two or more appendages. Among the zooplankton, many species propel themselves by rhythmically beating multiple pairs of closely spaced leg-like...
