Why are the fastest runners of intermediate size? Contrasting scaling of mechanical demands and muscle supply of work and power
The fastest land animals are of intermediate size. Cheetah, antelope, greyhounds and racehorses have been measured running much faster than reported for elephants or elephant shrews. Can this be attributed to scaling of physical demands and explicit physiological constraints to supply? Here, we desc...
