Dissection of Larval and Pupal Wings of Bicyclus anynana Butterflies
Methods and Protocols, 2020 The colorful wings of butterflies are emerging as model systems for evolutionary and developmental studies. Some of these studies focus on localizing gene transcripts and proteins in wings at the larval and pupal stages using techniques such as ...

Animalopters - towards a new dimension of flight mechanics [PDF]
Transport, 2002 Recently, it has been recognised that flapping wing propulsion can be more efficient than conventional propellers if applied to very small-scale vehicles, so-called MAVs (micro air vehicles).

Separasi Aliran pada Permukaan Atas Airfoil Kumbang Kelapa dengan Metoda China Clay
Metal: Jurnal Sistem Mekanik dan Termal, 2020 This study is aimed at identifying airfoils by mimicking the curved shape of the wings of a flying animal. This interferes with what people did in ancient times to obtain objects capable of flying.

Ways that Animal Wings Produce Sound
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2021 SynopsisThere are at least eight ways that wings potentially produce sound. Five mechanisms are aerodynamic sounds, created by airflow, and three are structural sound created by interactions of solid surfaces. Animal flight is low Mach (M), meaning all animals move at <30% of the speed of sound.

A linear systems analysis of the yaw dynamics of a dynamically scaled insect model [PDF]
, 2010 Recent studies suggest that fruit flies use subtle changes to their wing motion to actively generate forces during aerial maneuvers. In addition, it has been estimated that the passive rotational damping caused by the flapping wings of an insect is ...

Take-off mechanics in hummingbirds (Trochilidae) [PDF]
, 2004 Initiating flight is challenging, and considerable effort has focused on understanding the energetics and aerodynamics of take-off for both machines and animals.

Animal migration research takes wing [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 In the beginning there was great confusion about animal migration. Aristotle, noting that the types of birds around him changed with the seasons, concluded that summer redstarts turned into robins at the onset of winter, and that garden warblers became blackcaps [1]. Others thought that birds disappear in winter because they hibernate submerged in mud.

Theoretical modelling of wakes from retractable flapping wings in forward flight [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 A free-wake method is used to simulate the wake from retractable, jointed wings. The method serves to complement existing experimental studies that visualise flying animal wakes.

Wing and body motion during flight initiation in Drosophila revealed by automated visual tracking [PDF]
, 2009 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a widely used model organism in studies of genetics, developmental biology and biomechanics. One limitation for exploiting Drosophila as a model system for behavioral neurobiology is that measuring body kinematics
