Field Experiments With a Wind Tunnel on the Flight Speed of Some West African Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
, 1981 An open wind tunnel, down which air was blown from over a bait animal, was used in the field in the Gambia to measure the flight speed of host-seeking mosquitoes. Insects were trapped on an electrocuting grid fitted halfway up the tunnel. As the speed of

Realistic modeling of bird flight animations [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2003 In this paper we describe a physics-based method for synthesis of bird flight animations. Our method computes a realistic set of wingbeats that enables a bird to follow the specified trajectory. We model the bird as an articulated skeleton with elastically deformable feathers.

Perceptual modalities guiding bat flight in a native habitat [PDF]
, 2018 Flying animals accomplish high-speed navigation through fields of obstacles using a suite of sensory modalities that blend spatial memory with input from vision, tactile sensing, and, in the case of most bats and some other animals, echolocation ...

The Critical Role of Head Movements for Spatial Representation During Bumblebees Learning Flight
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Bumblebees perform complex flight maneuvers around the barely visible entrance of their nest upon their first departures. During these flights bees learn visual information about the surroundings, possibly including its spatial layout.

The role of visual and mechanosensory cues in structuring forward flight in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2007 It has long been known that many flying insects use visual cues to orient with respect to the wind and to control their groundspeed in the face of varying wind conditions.

Flight Zone as an Alternative Temperament Assessment to Predict Animal Efficiency
Proceedings, 2020 Animal temperament evaluation can be included in the cattle selection program also because of an existing correlation with performance. However, there are different assessment methods such as flight speed (time and speed that an animal takes to leave the

Wolf Responses to Experimental Human Approaches Using High-Resolution Positioning Data
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Humans pose a major mortality risk to wolves. Hence, similar to how prey respond to predators, wolves can be expected to show anti-predator responses to humans. When exposed to a threat, animals may show a fight, flight, freeze or hide response. The type

The influence of timeshift on ciradian rhythm of sensitivity to X-irradiation in mice [PDF]
, 1984 For two groups of male C3H mice an eastbound transmeridional flight was simulated by inducing a time shift of the L:D schedule of 8 hr. The assumed flight brought about a maxima) reduction of the daily light and dark span, respectively.

North American Animated Flight Atlas
Journal of Maps, 2007 Abstract There are many different landscapes. The landscape mapped here forms in the sky as thousands of aircraft are carefully choreographed by ground control to ferry passengers from one place to another. It is this landscape of constantly moving air traffic that is the subject of a new atlas.
