The evolutionary change in the mode of locomotion is often a major evolutionary event, triggering diversification. Sideways locomotion is a defining feature of true crabs (Brachyura) and may have ...

Many animals, including apex predators, move in groups. We know this collective behavior is fundamental to the animal's ability to move in complex environments, but less is known about what drives the ...

Crabs' signature sideways scuttle, a mystery for ages, has been traced to a single evolutionary event 200 million years ago.

Researchers have provided new insights into the evolutionary origin of sideways walking in crabs. Their study, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, presents the largest comparative dataset ...

The process of carcinisation, evolution of crabs, sideways movement, crustaceans, convergent evolution and decapods and true ...

Q: What can living animals tell us about the behavior of extinct animals that we otherwise only know from fossils? A: When you look at the fossil record, all you have really is a pile of bones. It's a ...

The naming of Sonselasuchus cedrus represents scientific findings that shed light on the diversification of reptiles ...

Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...
