Optimal body size with respect to maximal speed for the yellow-spotted monitor lizard (Varanus panoptes; varanidae)

Studies of locomotor performance often link variation in morphology with ecology. While maximum sprint speed is a commonly used performance variable, the absolute limits for this performance trait are not completely understood. Absolute maximal speed has often been shown to increase linearly with bo...
