Vortex Lattice Simulations of Attached and Separated Flows around Flapping Wings
Aerospace, 2017 Flapping flight is an increasingly popular area of research, with applications to micro-unmanned air vehicles and animal flight biomechanics. Fast, but accurate methods for predicting the aerodynamic loads acting on flapping wings are of interest for ...

Detecting wing fractures in chickens using deep learning, photographs and computed tomography scanning [PDF]
Poultry ScienceAnimal welfare monitoring is a key part of veterinary surveillance in every poultry slaughterhouse. Among the animal welfare indicators routinely inspected, the prevalence of wing fractures and soft tissues injuries (e.g.

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021 In a previous study, we used natural butterfly wings as a cell growth matrix for tissue engineering materials and found that the surface of different butterfly wings had different ultramicrostructures, which can affect the qualitative growth of cells and

Butterflies fly using efficient propulsive clap mechanism owing to flexible wings
Journal of the Royal Society Interface, 2021 Butterflies look like no other flying animal, with unusually short, broad and large wings relative to their body size. Previous studies have suggested butterflies use several unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms to boost force production with upstroke wing ...

The Beast Within, the Beast Without
Venezia Arti, 2023 Drawing on and accentuating classical motifs, the surfaces of Renaissance armour are inhabited by an impressive variety of animal exuviae: leonine protomes and paws, ram’s horns, shells, tails, beaks, and wings.

Deep learning approaches to landmark detection in tsetse wing images.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Morphometric analysis of wings has been suggested for identifying and controlling isolated populations of tsetse (Glossina spp), vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis in Africa.

Genomic adaptations to aquatic and aerial life in mayflies and the origin of insect wings
Nature Communications, 2020 The evolution of winged insects revolutionized terrestrial ecosystems and led to the largest animal radiation on Earth. However, we still have an incomplete picture of the genomic changes that underlay this diversification. Mayflies, as one of the sister
