Meeting Abstract S6-2 Sunday, Jan. 5 08:00 – 08:30 The acoustics of flapping flight in birds and bats; a preliminary analysis BOONMAN, ARJAN*; EITAN, OFRI; YOVEL , YOSSI; University of Tel Aviv arjan.boonman@gmx.net Most studies on the acoustics of bird flight focus on gliding- and not on flapping flight. Here we present preliminary acoustic data on the […]

Introduction to the Symposium on Bioinspiration of silent flight of owls and other flying animals
Meeting Abstract S6-1 Sunday, Jan. 5 07:45 – 08:00 Introduction to the Symposium on Bioinspiration of silent flight of owls and other flying animals CLARK, CJ; University of California, Riverside cclark@ucr.edu Owls are well known for their nearly soundless flight, in comparison to the wing sounds of other birds. Owls have evolved wing and tail features, including […]
Final roundtable discussion on bioinspiration of silent flight
Meeting Abstract S6-12 Sunday, Jan. 5 15:00 – 15:30 Final roundtable discussion on bioinspiration of silent flight CLARK, CJ; CLARK, Christopher; UC Riverside cclark@ucr.edu We conclude our symposium on bio-inspiration of silent flight of owls and other flying animals, by discussing open questions within this area, with an eye towards identifying areas of research that are not […]
Evolutionary and ecological correlates of silent flight in owls, nightbirds and hawks Does silent flight evolve for stealth, or to reduce self-masking
Meeting Abstract S6-9 Sunday, Jan. 5 13:30 – 14:00 Evolutionary and ecological correlates of silent flight in owls, nightbirds and hawks: Does silent flight evolve for stealth, or to reduce self-masking? CLARK, CJ*; LE PIANE, K; CLARK, Christopher; University of California, Riverside CCLARK@UCR.EDU Owls, Nightbirds (nocturnal members of Caprimulgiformes) and certain hawks have all evolved feather features […]
Directional sensitivity of Northern saw-whet owls implications for prey and wing sound detection
Meeting Abstract S6-10 Sunday, Jan. 5 14:00 – 14:30 Directional sensitivity of Northern saw-whet owls: implications for prey and wing sound detection GALL, MD*; DE KONING, M; BEATINI, JR; PROUDFOOT, GA; Vassar College; Vassar College; Vassar College; Vassar College megall@vassar.edu http://pages.vassar.edu/sensoryecology/ Many animals localize sound sources using cues derived from sounds arriving at two ears that […]
Acoustic models for wing specializations of silent owl species
Meeting Abstract S6-6 Sunday, Jan. 5 10:30 – 11:00 Acoustic models for wing specializations of silent owl species JAWORSKI, JW; Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA jaworski@lehigh.edu Many owls species are known to be able to hunt in effective stealth to themselves and their prey, a feat which is attributed in full or in part to their wing specializations. […]
The Effect of Water on Salamander Cling Performance at the Critical Roughness
Meeting Abstract S5-4 Sunday, Jan. 5 09:30 – 10:00 The Effect of Water on Salamander Cling Performance at the Critical Roughness O’DONNELL, MK*; DEBAN, SM; Brown University; University of South Florida mary_kate_odonnell@brown.edu https://marykateodonnell.wordpress.com Plethodontid salamanders are capable of extraordinary clinging and climbing performance. This has enabled them to access arboreal, saxicolous, troglodytic, terrestrial, and fossorial habitats to […]
Suction feeding in small animals and carnivorous plants
Meeting Abstract S5-5 Sunday, Jan. 5 10:30 – 11:00 Suction feeding in small animals and carnivorous plants DEBAN, SM*; HOLZMAN, R; MULLER, UK; University of South Florida; Tel Aviv University; California State University Fresno umuller@csufresno.edu http://zimmer.csufresno.edu/~umuller/FBDS/FBDS-home/FBDS-home-welcome.html Suction feeding has evolved independently in two highly disparate systems, aquatic vertebrates and carnivorous bladderworts. Incidentally, bladderworts are the smallest and […]
