Using high-resolution acoustic tags to determine the kinematics and maneuverability of the world’s largest whales
Meeting Abstract S1-2.4 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Using high-resolution acoustic tags to determine the kinematics and maneuverability of the world’s largest whales. GOLDBOGEN, Jeremy; Cascadia Research Collective jgoldbogen@gmail.com The advent of digital tags has revolutionized the study of animal movement in their natural environment, particularly for cetaceans which are difficult to study in both the lab and the […]
Recent insights from entomological radar studies of high-altitude insect migration
Meeting Abstract S1-2.3 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Recent insights from entomological radar studies of high-altitude insect migration CHAPMAN, J.W.; Rothamsted Research, UK jason.chapman@rothamsted.ac.uk Billions of insects migrate between winter and summer ranges to take advantage of seasonally available breeding resources. To cover the distances required (100s km), many insects rely on wind assistance, and routinely ascend 100s m […]
Mechanisms underlying the evolution of schooling behavior in sticklebacks
Meeting Abstract S1-2.1 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Mechanisms underlying the evolution of schooling behavior in sticklebacks GREENWOOD, A.K.*; WARK, A.R.; PEICHEL, C.L.; Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center akg@stanfordalumni.org Schooling behavior is a strategy commonly used by fishes for predator avoidance. Like other social grouping behaviors, schooling has numerous benefits for participants, such as increased vigilance and predator confusion. […]
Computational analysis of hummingbird flight
Meeting Abstract S1-2.2 Wednesday, Jan. 4 Computational analysis of hummingbird flight ALTSHULER, D.L.*; SEGRE, P.S.; STRAW, A.D.; University of British Columbia; University of British Columbia; Institute for Molecular Pathology doug@zoology.ubc.ca A central challenge to the study of maneuverability is complexity because animal movement occurs with coordination of multiple rotational and translational degrees of freedom, each with complicated […]
