Effects of aspect ratio on flapping wing aerodynamics in animal flight
Acta Mechanica Sinica, 2014Morphology as well as kinematics is a critical determinant of performance in flapping flight. To understand the effects of the structural traits on aerodynamics of bio-flyers, three rectangular wings with aspect ratios (AR) of 1, 2, and 4 performing hovering-like sinusoidal kinematics at wingtip based Reynolds number of 5 300 are experimentally ...

Animal-borne imaging takes wing, or the dawn of ‘wildlife video-tracking’
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2008Moll and colleagues [1] presented a timely review of the use of animal-mounted video cameras for basic and applied ecological research. We welcome the authors’ attempt to unveil the scientific potential of this emerging technology, but wish to highlight new research opportunities arising from the latest work with bird-mounted cameras.
