Warrick D, Bundle M, Dial K
Integr Comp Biol
. 2011 Jun;
42(1):141-8.
PMID: 21708703
While useful in describing the efficiency of maneuvering flight, steady-state (i.e., fixed wing) models of maneuvering performance cannot provide insight to the efficacy of maneuvering, particularly during low-speed flapping flight....

Tobalske B, Hedrick T, Dial K, Biewener A
Nature
. 2003 Jan;
421(6921):363-6.
PMID: 12540899
The relationship between mechanical power output and forward velocity in bird flight is controversial, bearing on the comparative physiology and ecology of locomotion. Applied to flying birds, aerodynamic theory predicts...

Williamson M, Dial K, Biewener A
J Exp Biol
. 2001 Feb;
204(Pt 3):495-507.
PMID: 11171301
In vivo measurements of pectoralis muscle length change and force production were obtained using sonomicrometry and delto-pectoral bone strain recordings during ascending and slow level flight in mallards (Anas platyrhynchos)....

Tobalske B, Dial K
J Exp Biol
. 2000 Oct;
203(Pt 21):3319-32.
PMID: 11023852
To evaluate the mechanisms responsible for relationships between body mass and maximum take-off performance in birds, we studied four species in the Phasianidae: northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), chukar (Alectoris chukar),...

J Exp Zool
. 1997 Nov;
279(4):313-29.
PMID: 9360313
Black-billed magpies (Pica pica; Corvidae) exhibit an unusual flight style with pronounced, cyclic variation in wingbeat frequency and amplitude during level, cruising flight. In an effort to better understand the...

Science
. 1988 Sep;
241(4872):1495-8.
PMID: 17790043
High-speed x-ray movies of European starlings flying in a wind tunnel provide detailed documentation of avian skeletal movements during flapping flight. The U-shaped furcula (or "wishbone," which represents the fused...

J Exp Biol
. 1988 Jan;
134:1-16.
PMID: 3356961
In domestic pigeons (Columba livia), the electrical activity of the major depressor muscle of the wing, the pectoralis (pars thoracicus), beings in late upstroke well before the wing begins its...

. 1987 Jul;
218(3):284-7.
PMID: 3631542
The pectoralis muscle in pigeons (Columba livia) is composed of two heads (sternobrachialis, thoracobrachialis) that are separately innervated and have different fiber orientations. High-speed film and electromyographic studies of free-flying...
