Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1617-1627, May 2026.Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly turning to 3D models to use in scientific research. Natural history museums are one of the primary sources for specimens used as 3D models, and efforts are underway to digitize their collections using methods like photogrammetry.

The energetics of tortoise muscle
The Journal of Physiology, 1968 1. A study has been made of the mechanical behaviour and the heat production of tortoise skeletal muscle during tetanic contractions.2. The relation between force (P) and velocity (v) is more curved than that of frog muscle. It can be fitted by Hill's equation (v/vmax = (1 ‐ P/P0)/(1 + P/a)) using a value of P0/a considerably less than for frog muscle ...
