The metabolic cost of turning right side up in the Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca)
Armoured, rigid bodied animals, such as Testudines, must self-right should they find themselves in an inverted position. The ability to self-right is an essential biomechanical and physiological process that influences survival and ultimately fitness. Traits that enhance righting ability may consequ...
