A new ultrafast movement enables escape at low temperature

Abstract Escape is a life critical defensive behaviour. One potential escape strategy is using ultrafast movements to relocate quickly. These movements do not rely solely on muscle activation and are beneficial for ectotherms at low temperatures when muscle performance is constrained. However, the f...
