Individuals of the common Namib Day Gecko vary in how adaptive simplification alters sprint biomechanics
Locomotion inextricably links biomechanics to ecology as animals maneuver through mechanically challenging environments. Faster individuals are more likely to escape predators, surviving to produce more offspring. Fast sprint speed evolved several times in lizards, including geckos. However, the und...
