Tarantulas vs Scorpions Digestive energetics and efficiencies of drinking versus eating
Meeting Abstract P3.60 Monday, Jan. 6 15:30 Tarantulas vs. Scorpions: Digestive energetics and efficiencies of drinking versus eating BELANICH, JR*; SECOR, SM; U. of Alabama; U. of Alabama jrbelanich@crimson.ua.edu The processing of any meal comes with a cost; a cost that impacts the net energy gained and therefore is incorporated into the efficiency by which energy is […]
Taking evasive action response to looming objects during forward flight
Meeting Abstract P3.172 Monday, Jan. 6 15:30 Taking evasive action: response to looming objects during forward flight WILLIAMS, C.D.*; BIEWENER, A.A.; Harvard University; Harvard University charleswilliams@fas.harvard.edu Flight involving unintentional mid-air collisions is rarely desirable. Successful identification and accurate location of approaching obstacles are essential to collision-free flight. The effects of looming and receding stimuli on tethered and […]
Surviving in the slow lane speed and maneuverability jointly determine escape success
Meeting Abstract P3.140 Monday, Jan. 6 15:30 Surviving in the slow lane: speed and maneuverability jointly determine escape success CLEMENTE, C J*; WILSON, R S; The University of Queensland; The University of Queensland r.wilson@uq.edu.au The interaction between prey and predators is an asymmetric game of life and death: unsuccessful predators go hungry, while unsuccessful prey are killed.
