Zookeeper–Animal Bonds and Their Relationship with Conservation Action
Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2022 Human–animal relationships have been demonstrated to have impacts on animal and keeper welfare, although their impacts on zookeepers have been less studied outside of evaluating job satisfaction.

Freshwater Reservoir, Ecological Traps and Source-Sink Dynamics
Diversity, 2022 Odonata are biodiversity indicators that adequately represent many aquatic and semi-aquatic animal species. We recorded over two field seasons a rich lentic community of Odonata (18 species) in a large artificial freshwater reservoir (ca. 55 ha) built 40

Tandem-wing interactions on aerodynamic performance inspired by dragonfly hovering
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Dragonflies possess two pairs of wings and the interactions between forewing (FW) and hindwing (HW) play an important role in dragonfly flight. The effects of tandem-wing (TW) interactions on the aerodynamic performance of dragonfly hovering have been ...

Effects of deformation and vibration characteristics of wings on flapping flight
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2015 The dragonfly wing is passively deformed under flapping and has the strength to withstand high flapping frequency simultaneously. These characteristics of deformation and vibration of the wing are important for flapping flight.

Numerical Investigation on Flapping Aerodynamic Performance of Dragonfly Wings in Crosswind
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2020 Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the influence of crosswind on the aerodynamic characteristics of rigid dragonfly-like flapping wings through the solution of the three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. The aerodynamic forces,
