Hakansson J, Quinn B, Shultz A, Swartz S, Corcoran A
Ann N Y Acad Sci
. 2024 Apr;
1536(1):92-106.
PMID: 38652595
Studying the detailed biomechanics of flying animals requires accurate three-dimensional coordinates for key anatomical landmarks. Traditionally, this relies on manually digitizing animal videos, a labor-intensive task that scales poorly with...

Bortoni A, Swartz S, Vejdani H, Corcoran A
Proc Biol Sci
. 2023 Jun;
290(2001):20230138.
PMID: 37357862
A predator's capacity to catch prey depends on its ability to navigate its environment in response to prey movements or escape behaviour. In predator-prey interactions that involve an active chase,...

Corcoran A, Weller T, Hopkins A, Yovel Y
Sci Rep
. 2021 Sep;
11(1):18637.
PMID: 34545133
Bats are renowned for their sophisticated echolocation. However, recent research has indicated that bats may be less reliant on echolocation than has long been assumed. To test the hypothesis that...

Parikh M, Corcoran A, Hedrick T
Bioinspir Biomim
. 2019 Aug;
14(5):055005.
PMID: 31365904
Chimney swifts (Chaetura pelagica) are highly aerial, small, insectivorous birds well known for roosting en masse in chimneys during their autumn migration. These roosting events require hundreds to thousands of...

Lohmann A, Corcoran A, Hedrick T
J Exp Biol
. 2019 Jun;
222(Pt 11).
PMID: 31186342
Pursuit is a common behavior exhibited by animals chasing prey, competitors and potential mates. Because of their speed and maneuverability, dragonflies are frequently studied as a model system for biological...

PMID: 31162047
Animal groups have emergent properties that result from simple interactions among individuals. However, we know little about why animals adopt different interaction rules because of sparse sampling among species. Here,...

Corcoran A, Weller T
Proc Biol Sci
. 2018 May;
285(1878).
PMID: 29720417
Echolocation allows bats to occupy diverse nocturnal niches. Bats almost always use echolocation, even when other sensory stimuli are available to guide navigation. Here, using arrays of calibrated infrared cameras...

Corcoran A, Moss C
J Exp Biol
. 2017 Dec;
220(Pt 24):4554-4566.
PMID: 29237765
All animals face the essential task of extracting biologically meaningful sensory information from the 'noisy' backdrop of their environments. Here, we examine mechanisms used by echolocating bats to localize objects,...

J Exp Biol
. 2016 Jun;
219(Pt 17):2704-15.
PMID: 27340205
What determines whether fleeing prey escape from attacking predators? To answer this question, biologists have developed mathematical models that incorporate attack geometries, pursuit and escape trajectories, and kinematics of predator...

. 2014 Nov;
346(6210):745-7.
PMID: 25378624
Communication signals are susceptible to interference ("jamming") from conspecifics and other sources. Many active sensing animals, including bats and electric fish, alter the frequency of their emissions to avoid inadvertent...
