A walking behavior generates functional overland movements in the tidepool sculpin, Oligocottus maculosus
Abstract
Oligocottus maculosus use axial-appendage-based locomotion on land. O. maculosus terrestrial kinematics are distinct from their aquatic locomotion. Closely related subtidal sculpins do not move as effectively on land. Movements of O. maculosus are distinct from other types of axial-appendage walking.
