The imitating flapping behaviour of mosquito using flexible wing model
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015 The mosquito's wing is deforming during flapping stroke and the pitching angle is changed. The motion called “feathering motion” is considered that the wing is deformed passively by the aerodynamic force. But it is not established yet. In this paper,

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.

Developmental and activity-dependent plasticity of filiform hair receptors in the locust
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 A group of wind sensitive filiform hair receptors on the locust thorax and head makes contact onto a pair of identified interneuron, A4I1. The hair receptors’ central nervous projections exhibit pronounced structural dynamics during nymphal development ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Histological structure of esophagus. Abstract The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the histological and histochemical organization of the esophagus in two avian species with different feeding ecologies. A total of 6 individuals were used for this purpose (3 storks, 3 common buzzards).

Dynamics of Micro-Air-Vehicle with Flapping Wings
Acta Polytechnica, 2004 Small (approximately 6 inch long, or hand-held) reconnaissance micro air vehicles (MAVs) will fly inside buildings, and require hover for observation, and agility at low speeds to move in confined spaces.

Does a revolving wing stall at low Reynolds numbers?
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2015 Motivated by the dynamic, i.e., “delayed” stall mechanism in bio-inspired flapping wing aerodynamics that can achieve high lift production at high angles of attack (AoA) we utilize a simplified revolving wing model to explore the novel mechanisms in ...
