J R Soc Interface
. 2023 Oct;
20(207):20230229.
PMID: 37788711
Hummingbirds outperform other birds in terms of aerial agility at low flight speeds. To reveal the key mechanisms that enable such unparalleled agility, we reconstructed body and wing motion of...

J Exp Biol
. 2023 Sep;
226(19).
PMID: 37680181
Thermoregulatory performance can be modified through changes in various subordinate traits, but the rate and magnitude of change in these traits is poorly understood. We investigated flexibility in traits that...

. 2023 Aug;
18(5).
PMID: 37567187
Previous studies suggested that wing pitching, i.e. the wing rotation around its long axis, of insects and hummingbirds is primarily driven by an inertial effect associated with stroke deceleration and...

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2023 Jul;
378(1884):20220143.
PMID: 37427466
The evolution of nest site use and nest architecture in the non-avian ancestors of birds remains poorly understood because nest structures do not preserve well as fossils. Nevertheless, the evidence...

Poult Sci
. 2023 Jun;
102(8):102794.
PMID: 37307632
Birds use their legs and wings when transitioning from aerial to ground locomotion during landing. To improve our understanding of the effects of footpad dermatitis (FPD) and keel bone fracture...

. 2023 Jun;
63(3):742-757.
PMID: 37280184
A huge amount of research attention has focused on the evolution of life histories, but most research focuses on dominant individuals that acquire a disproportionate level of reproductive success, while...

J Therm Biol
. 2023 Feb;
112:103391.
PMID: 36796880
For reproducing animals, maintaining energy balance despite thermoregulatory challenges is important for surviving and successfully raising offspring. This is especially apparent in small endotherms that exhibit high mass-specific metabolic rates...

R Soc Open Sci
. 2023 Jan;
10(1):220809.
PMID: 36704252
Domestic chickens may live in environments which restrict wing muscle usage. Notably, reduced wing activity and accompanying muscle weakness are hypothesized risk factors for keel bone fractures and deviations. We...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2022 Dec;
289(1988):20222076.
PMID: 36475440
Hummingbirds have evolved to hover and manoeuvre with exceptional flight control. This is enabled by their musculoskeletal system that successfully exploits the agile motion of flapping wings. Here, we synthesize...

PMID: 36283374
Much of the awe that humans have for the flight of birds derives from our earthbound habits and our bias toward emphasizing visual cues for interpreting processes in the world....
