Shepard E
J Exp Biol
. 2025 Feb;
228(Suppl_1).
PMID: 39973197
The influence of wind on animal flight costs and flight decisions is well established. Far less is known about the effects of turbulence. Indeed, a mechanistic framework allowing researchers to...

. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 39956785
The study of animals' activity and behavior in the wild is an extremely challenging task. Although tri-axial accelerometers are invaluable for behavioral analyses, their use is more frequent in large...

Shepard E, Garde B, Krishnan K, Fell A, Tatayah V, Jones C, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2024 Nov;
34(24):5846-5851.e4.
PMID: 39610251
Regional patterns in wind underpin the low-cost migratory flyways of billions of birds and insects, but the effect of large-scale changes in temperature on flight is unknown. Flight costs should...

PMID: 39046781
Predator-prey arms races have led to the evolution of finely tuned disguise strategies. While the theoretical benefits of predator camouflage are well established, no study has yet been able to...

Lempidakis E, Ross A, Quetting M, Krishnan K, Garde B, Wikelski M, et al.
J R Soc Interface
. 2024 Mar;
21(212):20230591.
PMID: 38503340
Turbulence is a widespread phenomenon in the natural world, but its influence on flapping fliers remains little studied. We assessed how freestream turbulence affected the kinematics, flight effort and track...

Nourani E, Safi K, de Grissac S, Anderson D, Cole N, Fell A, et al.
Curr Biol
. 2023 Feb;
33(6):1179-1184.e3.
PMID: 36827987
Storms can cause widespread seabird stranding and wrecking, yet little is known about the maximum wind speeds that birds are able to tolerate or the conditions they avoid. We analyzed...

Lempidakis E, Ross A, Quetting M, Garde B, Wikelski M, Shepard E
J R Soc Interface
. 2022 Nov;
19(196):20220577.
PMID: 36349445
All animals that operate within the atmospheric boundary layer need to respond to aerial turbulence. Yet little is known about how flying animals do this because evaluating turbulence at fine...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Oct;
119(41):e2212925119.
PMID: 36194636
Cyclones can cause mass mortality of seabirds, sometimes wrecking thousands of individuals. The few studies to track pelagic seabirds during cyclones show they tend to circumnavigate the strongest winds. We...

iScience
. 2022 Sep;
25(9):104878.
PMID: 36060068
Quantifying stress and energetic responses in animals are major challenges, as existing methods lack temporal resolution and elevate animal stress. We propose "wake respirometry," a new method of quantifying fine-scale...

J R Soc Interface
. 2022 Aug;

PMID: 36000229
Body-mounted accelerometers provide a new prospect for estimating power use in flying birds, as the signal varies with the two major kinematic determinants of aerodynamic power: wingbeat frequency and amplitude....
