Meeting Abstract 87-3 Monday, Jan. 6 10:30 – 10:45 Wingbeat frequency modulation to large lateral perturbations in hawkmoths GEMILERE, R*; LDS-VIP, ; GAU, JF; SPONBERG, S; Georgia Tech rgemilere3@gatech.edu Like many synchronous and asynchronous flying insects, steady flight in Manduca sexta typically occurs in a narrow band of wingbeat frequencies. However context can modulate this range. Artificial […]

Meeting Abstract 87-1 Monday, Jan. 6 10:00 – 10:15 The aerial righting ability of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys. VAZQUEZ, S; PHAN, A; JOSEPH, M; PACE, CM*; Le Moyne College; Le Moyne College; Le Moyne College; Le Moyne College pacecm@lemoyne.edu How an animal recovers from perturbations in stability, such as falling, can have consequences for […]
Template model reveals mechanism of wing and leg coordination during self-righting of a cockroach-inspired robot
Meeting Abstract 87-4 Monday, Jan. 6 10:45 – 11:00 Template model reveals mechanism of wing and leg coordination during self-righting of a cockroach-inspired robot XUAN, Q*; LI, C; Johns Hopkins University; Johns Hopkins University qxuan1@jhu.edu Self-righting is a critical ability that terrestrial animals must have to survive. The discoid cockroach can push its wings against the ground […]

Lateral line and visual systems in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) contribute to regaining stability in horizontal vortices
Meeting Abstract 87-7 Monday, Jan. 6 11:30 – 11:45 Lateral line and visual systems in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) contribute to regaining stability in horizontal vortices STINSON, HM*; MUKHERJEE, R; TYTELL, ED; SCHWALBE, MAB; Lake Forest College; Tufts University H.Stinson97@gmail.com Fish encounter complex hydrodynamic environments while swimming and probably rely on multiple sensory systems to adjust their […]
Kinematic responses to rolling perturbations during swimming in the bluegill sunfish
Meeting Abstract 87-6 Monday, Jan. 6 11:15 – 11:30 Kinematic responses to rolling perturbations during swimming in the bluegill sunfish FATH, M*; NASIMI, F; TYTELL, E ; Tufts University michael.fath@tufts.edu Many fishes are unstable in roll. Staying upright thus requires constant coordinated input from multiple fins. To quantify how fish maintain roll stability, we developed a miniature […]

Maximum accelerations during takeoff in the bumblebee (Bombus impatiens)
Meeting Abstract 87.3 Wednesday, Jan. 7 Maximum accelerations during takeoff in the bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) BUCHWALD, Robert*; DUDLEY, Robert; University of California, Berkeley; University of California, Berkeley rbuchwald@gmail.com Limits to locomotor performance can vitally influence the outcome of diverse behavioral interactions (e.g., predation), but studies of maximum acceleration have received little attention, especially for flying animals. To […]
