Abstract

Wetlands are repositories of unique biodiversity. Wetland organisms are well adapted to their habitat, lying at the interface of aquatic and terrestrial environments. In order to understand their adaptations in a better way, it is essential to grasp the basic properties of the medium in which various organisms live. This is attempted here by first examining the properties of the two contrasting environments, terrestrial and aquatic. We focus primarily on locomotion, touching upon related life processes like respiration, body size and maintaining body balance by employing basic principles of biology and physics.
