A new low-turbulence wind tunnel for animal and small vehicle flight experiments [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Our understanding of animal flight benefits greatly from specialized wind tunnels designed for flying animals. Existing facilities can simulate laminar flow during straight, ascending and descending flight, as well as at different altitudes. However, the

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.

Feather moult and bird appearance are correlated with global warming over the last 200 years
Nature Communications, 2019 Most passerine bird species replace part of their plumage within the first year of life. Here, using data from 4,012 individuals of 19 species, Kiat et al.

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

Bottlenose Dolphins and Antillean Manatees Respond to Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Systems
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are powerful tools for research and monitoring of wildlife. However, the effects of these systems on most marine mammals are largely unknown, preventing the establishment of guidelines that will minimize animal disturbance.
