Scaling of swim speed and stroke frequency in geometrically similar penguins: they swim optimally to minimize cost of transport

It has been predicted that geometrically similar animals would swim at the same speed with stroke frequency scaling with mass(−1/3). In the present study, morphological and behavioural data obtained from free-ranging penguins (seven species) were compared. Morphological measurements support the geom...
