Meeting Abstract 72.7 Tuesday, Jan. 6 09:30 Evidence for Passive Avian Head Stabilization during Flapping Flight PETE, A*; KRESS, D; LENTINK, D; Stanford University, Stanford; Stanford University, Stanford; Stanford University, Stanford aepete@stanford.edu Birds stabilize head position with respect to the body to reduce retinal image blur during flapping flight. Relative head stabilization is needed because the vertical […]

Data driven study of flight in aerial clutter
Meeting Abstract 72.1 Tuesday, Jan. 6 08:00 Data driven study of flight in aerial clutter GRAVISH, N*; CRALL, JD; MOUNTCASTLE, AD; WOOD, RJ; COMBES, S; Harvard University; Harvard University; Harvard University; Harvard University; Harvard University gravish@seas.harvard.edu http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~gravish/ Flying insects are frequently confronted with spatially and temporally complex aerial environments. Avoiding collisions, predation, or excessive energy expenditure in […]
Coupled dynamics of the body and the wings in low flapping frequency insect flight
Meeting Abstract 72.5 Tuesday, Jan. 6 09:00 Coupled dynamics of the body and the wings in low flapping frequency insect flight ZEYGHAMI, S*; DONG, H; University of Virginia; University of Virginia haibo.dong@virginia.edu In order to survive, flying insects need to maneuver and steer in the air. The importance of agility in changing the flight direction is especially […]
A generalized dynamical framework for non-equilibrium gliding in animals
Meeting Abstract 72.4 Tuesday, Jan. 6 08:45 A generalized dynamical framework for non-equilibrium gliding in animals YEATON, IJ*; SOCHA, JJ; ROSS, SD; Virginia Tech; Virginia Tech; Virginia Tech iyeaton@vt.edu Gliding has evolved numerous times in different lineages of animals, from lizards, squirrels, and frogs, to more unexpected species like ants and snakes. All gliders convert potential energy […]

Metabolic flux and robustness Targets of hormonal regulation and phenotypic change in biochemical networks
Meeting Abstract 72-7 Wednesday, Jan. 6 09:30 Metabolic flux and robustness: Targets of hormonal regulation and phenotypic change in biochemical networks MORRISON, E.S.*; BADYAEV, A.V.; University of Arizona; University of Arizona esmorr@email.arizona.edu Change in mechanisms that underlie robustness of a phenotype during development and function is a common route for phenotypic diversifications. The integration of hormones in […]
