Meeting Abstract 5-4 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:45 – 09:00 Shattering raindrops on biological surfaces (insect wings, bird feathers) JUNG, SJ*; KIM, S; WU, B; DOMBROSKIE, J; Cornell University; Cornell University; Cornell University; Cornell University sj737@cornell.edu https://blogs.cornell.edu/sunnyjsh/ Many biological surfaces (e.g. bird feathers, insect wings, and plant leaves) are super-hydrophobic with physical morphology at different scales. However, it […]

Resonance Properties of Insect-Inspired Series-Elastic Flapping Wings
Meeting Abstract 5-2 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:15 – 08:30 Resonance Properties of Insect-Inspired Series-Elastic Flapping Wings LYNCH, J*; GAU, JF; SPONBERG, S; GRAVISH, N; University of California, San Diego; Georgia Institute of Technology; Georgia Institute of Technology; University of California, San Diego jelynch@ucsd.edu Flying insects are thought to achieve energy-efficient flapping flight by storing and releasing elastic […]
Metabolic costs of enhancing propulsion in live biohybrid robotic jellyfish
Meeting Abstract 5-5 Saturday, Jan. 4 09:00 – 09:15 Metabolic costs of enhancing propulsion in live biohybrid robotic jellyfish XU, NW*; DABIRI, JO; Stanford University; California Institute of Technology nicolexu@stanford.edu http://web.stanford.edu/~nicolexu Robotic control of animal locomotion can potentially address questions about organismal biology and animal-fluid interactions, which are otherwise limited to observations of natural behavior. This work […]
Energetic costs of locomotion and feeding in capuchin primates
Meeting Abstract 5-7 Saturday, Jan. 4 09:30 – 09:45 Energetic costs of locomotion and feeding in capuchin primates. ROSS, CF*; LAIRD, MF; GRANATOSKY, MC; University of Chicago; University of Southern California; New York College of Osteopathic Medicine rossc@uchicago.edu It is often assumed that natural selection minimizes energetic expenditure during cyclical feeding and locomotion so that energy might […]
Animals and robots transition from more challenging to easier locomotor modes to traverse obstacles
Meeting Abstract 5-1 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:00 – 08:15 Animals and robots transition from more challenging to easier locomotor modes to traverse obstacles OTHAYOTH, R*; THOMS, G; LI, C; Johns Hopkins University ratan@jhu.edu https://li.me.jhu.edu/ Animals transition between multiple locomotor modes when traversing obstacles in complex terrain. However, the physics of such locomotor transitions are not well understood. […]
Suction feeding in zebrafish is improved by upregulated Wnt signaling
Meeting Abstract 4-2 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:15 – 08:30 Suction feeding in zebrafish is improved by upregulated Wnt signaling MATTHEWS, DG*; DIAL, TR; LAUDER, GV; Harvard University; Harvard University; Harvard University davematthews@g.harvard.edu Among fishes, feeding mode is often considered the major axis of divergence and has been shown to produce extraordinarily rapid adaptive radiations. This behavioral evolution […]
PLANKTON DISPERSION THROUGH VEGETATIVE SEABED WITHIN COMPLEX FLOW ENVIRONMENTS
Meeting Abstract 4-3 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:30 – 08:45 PLANKTON DISPERSION THROUGH VEGETATIVE SEABED WITHIN COMPLEX FLOW ENVIRONMENTS OZALP, MK*; MILLER, LA; STRICKLAND, C; UNC, Chapel Hill, NC; UNC, Chapel Hill, NC; UT, Knoxville, TN mkoz@live.unc.edu The movement of plankton is often dictated by local flow patterns, particularly during storms and in environments with strong flows. Reefs, […]
Longer Development Provides First-Feeding Fish with the Jaw Kinematics to Escape Hydrodynamic Constraints
Meeting Abstract 4-1 Saturday, Jan. 4 08:00 – 08:15 Longer Development Provides First-Feeding Fish with the Jaw Kinematics to Escape Hydrodynamic Constraints DIAL, TR*; LAUDER, GV; Harvard University; Harvard University trdial@gmail.com The viscous fluid environment experienced by small, first-feeding fishes resists the ability to produce suction. Compounding the negative effects of small size is the observation that […]
Hydrodynamic constraints on jet propulsion in squid paralarvae at intermediate Reynolds numbers
