3D reconstruction of bird flight trajectories using a single video camera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Video cameras are finding increasing use in the study and analysis of bird flight over short ranges. However, reconstruction of flight trajectories in three dimensions typically requires the use of multiple cameras and elaborate calibration procedures ...

Three-dimensional simulation for fast forward flight of a calliope hummingbird [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 We present a computational study of flapping-wing aerodynamics of a calliope hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) during fast forward flight. Three-dimensional wing kinematics were incorporated into the model by extracting time-dependent wing position from

Anticipatory Manoeuvres in Bird Flight. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractIt is essential for birds to be agile and aware of their immediate environment, especially when flying through dense foliage. To investigate the type of visual signals and strategies used by birds while negotiating cluttered environments, we presented budgerigars with vertically oriented apertures of different widths.

Oxidative stress in endurance flight: an unconsidered factor in bird migration [PDF]
, 2014 Migrating birds perform extraordinary endurance flights, up to 200 h non-stop, at a very high metabolic rate and while fasting. Such an intense and prolonged physical activity is normally associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen and ...
