Fig. 2. Representative kinematics of swimming in Aurelia aurita. (A) Video frames for one propulsive cycle. (B) The positions of landmarks (filled dots) were used to reconstruct the outer surface of the bell (thick line) and the inner surface of the bell cavity (thin line). (C) Measurements for the bell height (blue line) and diameter (red line) are shown during the pulse (gray band) and recovery (white band) phases of the propulsive cycle. (D) The margin angle and (E) the swimming speed are shown over time.
