Effects of body plan evolution on the hydrodynamic drag and energy requirements of swimming in ichthyosaurs

Ichthyosaurs are an extinct group of fully marine tetrapods that were well adapted to aquatic locomotion. During their approximately 160 Myr existence, they evolved from elongate and serpentine forms into stockier, fish-like animals, convergent with sharks and dolphins. Here, we use computational fl...
