The Aerodynamic and Neurophysiological Mechanisms of Animal Flight through the Lens of Evolution
Meeting Abstract BART.1 Jan. 4 The Aerodynamic and Neurophysiological Mechanisms of Animal Flight through the Lens of Evolution Altshuler, D.; University of California, Riverside One of the most remarkable adaptations in animals is the ability to fly. Birds, bats and insects are among the most successful of terrestrial organisms, and their colonization of diverse habitats and ecological […]
From shrimp hammers to lobster harmonics evolutionary mechanics of movement and communication in the sea
Meeting Abstract BART.1 Thursday, Jan. 3 From shrimp hammers to lobster harmonics: evolutionary mechanics of movement and communication in the sea PATEK, Sheila N.; Univ. of California, Berkeley patek@socrates.berkeley.edu From mantis shrimp hammers to spiny lobster violins, the same underlying principles guide the interplay between evolutionary variation and the rules of physics. I will present ongoing research […]
