Visual control of hovering in Anna's hummingbirds
Relatively little is known about how sensory information is used for controlling flight in birds. A powerful method is to immerse an animal in a dynamic virtual reality environment to examine behavioral responses.

The global climatic change could cause, in some places, appearance of meteorological phenomena considered rare. If we understand the effect of these phenomena on birds we can understand how birds respond to weather changes. We report here the effect of a

Cryptanalysis of Hummingbird-1 [PDF]
Hummingbird-1 is a lightweight encryption and message authentication primitive published in RISC '09 and WLC '10. Hummingbird-1 utilizes a 256-bit secret key and a 64-bit IV. We report a chosen-IV, chosen-message attack that can recover the full secret key with a few million chosen messages processed under two related IVs.

Hummingbirds Fuel Hovering Flight with Newly Ingested Sugar
We sought to characterize the ability of hummingbirds to fuel their energetically expensive hovering flight using dietary sugar by a combination of respirometry and stable carbon isotope techniques. Broadtailed hummingbirds (Selasphorus platycercus) were

The Biomechanics of Obstacle Negotiation by Hummingbirds [PDF]
Bird flight takes various forms in nature from gliding to hovering. While flying, birds must be agile enough to maneuver around obstacles and avoid predators, yet stable enough to navigate along an controlled path.
