Wind, waves, wing loading and the flight energetics of giant petrels

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1979-1993, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wind is a major factor driving seabird movement and energetics, the effects of which are modulated by morphology. Developments in tagging technology now make it possible to test predictions from aerodynamic theory about the effects of wind on flight performance in free ...

Cumulative heatwave stress disrupts thermal homeostasis and plumage structure in a Mediterranean passerine

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1960-1978, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent across the Mediterranean and pose critical challenges for small passerines, yet the physiological and morphological limits to their resilience remain poorly understood.

Using wingbeat frequency to estimate mass gain

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2205-2217, July 2026.
Abstract Energy intake is a fundamental currency in ecology that is critical to reproductive success, survival and lifetime fitness. Measuring foraging success in wild animals via biologgers has been a long‐standing challenge but is essential to understanding the mechanisms underlying population dynamics and species distributions.

Adaptive Acoustic Monitoring for Endangered Cook Inlet Beluga Whales in Complex Soundscapes

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective conservation of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) requires comprehensive spatiotemporal data, yet monitoring efforts remain spatially biased, underrepresenting important southern habitats. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides the necessary broad‐scale coverage, but its expansion introduces ...

INVESTIGATION OF OBSTACLE EFFECTS ON THE AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE OF FLAPPING WINGS

, 2017
The study of highly unsteady wing flapping includes the large scale vortices, complicated locomotion/dynamics and de-formable wing structures. When flapping insects/birds approach or perch on some objects, such as ground, wall or obstacle, the solid ...
