Whereas circulatory consequences of large body size are known to include dramatic elevation of blood pressure, other physical contexts such as acceleration of fluid systems may also impose physiological demands. Centrifugal forces acting on rapidly reciprocating appendages may in particular challeng

The diversity in colour patterns on butterfly wings provides great potential for understanding how developmental mechanisms may be modulated in the evolution of adaptive traits. In particular, we discuss concentric eyespot patterns, which have been shown by surgical experiments to be formed in respo

Song flight, which is an aerial song display especially used by many open country bird species, is expected to be energetically very costly. Any morphological adaptation reducing the magnitude of this cost thus would be favored by selection. Male skylarks Alauda arvensis perform frequent song flight
