Can scalable design of wings for flapping wing micro air vehicle be inspired by natural flyers? [PDF]
, 2018 Lift production is constantly a great challenge for flapping wing micro air vehicles (MAVs). Designing a workable wing, therefore, plays an essential role. Dimensional analysis is an effective and valuable tool in studying the biomechanics of flyers.

Nature positive? Commodification, speciesism, abjection in Australia’s environmental law reform
Geographical Research, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 390-404, August 2025.Proposed changes to Australian environmental conservation legislation entrench commodification of nature, speciesism, and the abjection of the nonhuman.

Variable Vigilance: Native Wildlife React Differently to Live Cats and Their Cues
Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Cats (Felis catus) kill millions of native Australian mammals and birds each year. The prey naivety hypothesis suggests this is due to native wildlife failing to recognise cats as predators. The Mata Hari Judas (MHJ) queen technique, where confined female cats are put into prolonged oestrus, has recently been trialled in situ as a method to ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has influenced the evolution of the world's biota, shaping species distributions, promoting diversification and causing extinctions. The turbulent climatic oscillations of the Pleistocene, which caused repeated periods of isolation and secondary contact, have left lasting signatures on the genomes of species across the world.

Accelerando and crescendo in African penguin ecstatic display songs
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1549, Issue 1, Page 112-119, July 2025.Human music is often characterized by accelerando—the progressive speeding up of notes—but quantitative investigations of accelerando in other species are lacking. We used a suite of rhythm analyses to show that male African penguins produce ecstatic display songs that get progressively faster (i.e., accelerando) and louder (i.e., crescendo). This work
