Feather-inspired flow control device across flight regimes
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2023 Abstract Bio-inspired flow control strategies can provide a new paradigm of efficiency and adaptability to overcome the operational limitations of traditional flow control. This is particularly useful to small-scale uncrewed aerial vehicles since their mission requirements are rapidly expanding, but they are still limited in terms of ...

Long-term effects of chronic light pollution on seasonal functions of European blackbirds (turdus merula) [PDF]
, 2013 Light pollution is known to affect important biological functions of wild animals, including daily and annual cycles. However, knowledge about long-term effects of chronic exposure to artificial light at night is still very limited.

Aerodynamic performance of the feathered dinosaur Microraptor and the evolution of feathered flight [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2013 Understanding the aerodynamic performance of feathered, non-avialan dinosaurs is critical to reconstructing the evolution of bird flight. Here we show that the Early Cretaceous five-winged paravian Microraptor is most stable when gliding at high-lift coefficients (low lift/drag ratios).

Feather growth rate and mass in nearctic passerines with variablemigratory behavior and molt pattern [PDF]
, 2012 Bird species vary greatly in the duration of their annual complete feather molt. However, such variation is not well documented in birds from many biogeographic areas, which restricts our understanding of the diversification of molt strategies.
