The mechanical and metabolic power requirements of flight in the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus)
A major goal in the study of animal locomotion is the integration of the mechanical performance of muscle with metabolic energy expenditure. The research presented in this thesis used a range of physiological approaches to determine in the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) the mechanical and metabol...
