WEBB, J. F.; SHIREY, J. E.; Villanova University; Villanova University: Not Your Typical Teleost: Post-Embryonic Development of Neuromasts and Cranial Lateral Line Canals in the Zebrafish, Danio rerio The zebrafish, Danio rerio is a valuable model system for the study of fundamentals of vertebrate embryogenesis, but the post-embryonic development of zebrafish remains largely unexplored. We […]

MILLER, L A; PESKIN, C S; Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University; Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University: Tiny insects, sticking vortices, and clap and fling Although a large number of studies have investigated insect flight at Reynolds numbers of 100 and higher, few studies have considered the aerodynamics of flight […]

DICKSON *, W.B.; DICKINSON , M.H.; California Institute of Technology; California Institue of Technology: Quantifying the effect of advance ratio on aerodynamic force generation during forward flight. Recent studies have demonstrated that a quasi-steady model closely matches the instantaneous force produced by an insect wing during hovering flight. It is not clear, however, if such […]

HEDRICK, TL; Harvard University, Cambridge MA: Low-speed maneuvering flight in the rose-breasted cockatoo Maneuvering flight has long been recognized as an important component of the natural behavior of many bird species but has been the subject of little experimental work. Here I examine the kinematics and neuromuscular control of turning flight in the Rose-breasted cockatoo […]

WALKER, J.A.; University of Southern Maine: How flies fly fast The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, can potentially increase flight speed by modulating wing beat frequency, the magnitude of wing displacement, the angle of the (stroke) plane along which the wing oscillates, the angle (or pitch) of a wing section relative to its flight trajectory, and […]

CLARK, Christopher J.; TOBALSKE, Bret; POWERS, Don; Univ. of California, Berkeley; University of Portland; John Fox University: Forward flight kinematics of rufus hummingbirds (Selasphorus rufus) with and without their tails Birds use their tails to generate aerodynamic forces. Recent theoretical work has begun to identify potential uses of these forces. In forward flight, there are […]
