  abstract = {{T}he life cycle of gobies of the {S}icydiinae subfamily depends on climbing waterfalls. {T}wo sympatric sicydiines species from {R}eunion {I}sland, {S}icyopterus lagocephalus ({SIL}) and {C}otylopus acutipinnis ({COA}), employ different climbing modes. {SIL} uses a steady "inching" mode interrupted by short rest periods, whereas {COA} exhibits short "power-burst" undulatory movements punctuated by longer rest periods. {C}onsequently, we explored the relationship between climbing performance and metabolic activity in these two species. {W}e demonstrated that the two climbing modes are supported by different ecophysiological profiles that promote the interspecific variability of locomotor performance. {M}ore specifically, {SIL} performed better than {COA} during a climbing experiment because of its inching climbing mode, supported by a generally greater metabolic capacity and a higher potential for oxidative metabolism. {I}nterestingly, we did not detect any difference in metabolic fuel storage and lactate production during climbing in either species, suggesting that these species can maintain fuel reserves and limit lactate accumulation through extensive rest times. {O}verall, this study provides new insights into the ecophysiology of these two emblematic species and suggests that the better climbing capacity of {SIL} is supported by its muscular metabolic capacity.},
