Bionic Hovering Micro-Aerial Vehicle Using Array-Spiracle Wings

open access: yesMachines, 2022
Hovering ability is the basis of fixed-point monitoring and tracking of an aircraft. Herein, we propose a new hovering vehicle inspired by bird feathers, with an airfoil composed of passive opening and closing feather units.

Harmonic hopping, and both punctuated and gradual evolution of acoustic characters in Selasphorus hummingbird tail-feathers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Models of character evolution often assume a single mode of evolutionary change, such as continuous, or discrete. Here I provide an example in which a character exhibits both types of change.

Quantifying the dynamic wing morphing of hovering hummingbird [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
Animal wings are lightweight and flexible; hence, during flapping flight their shapes change. It has been known that such dynamic wing morphing reduces aerodynamic cost in insects, but the consequences in vertebrate flyers, particularly birds, are not ...
