Bird dispersal movements are thought to depend on complex demographic and genetic factors. Researchers show that there may be a simpler explanation: bird dispersal distances depend on the morphology ...
Migratory birds change how high they fly over deserts and seas. Wing shape, feather color, and heat all play a role in ...
The Wright Brothers studied bird flight before they designed the first airplane. Now modern aircraft fly higher and faster than any bird, yet no manufactured device matches the graceful movements and ...
“Awkward” would probably be the most benevolent word I could use to describe the explosive launch into flight of the California quail. Certainly, the words graceful or athletic do not come to mind. A ...
As logging whittled away at Canada’s vast boreal forest during the past century, bird species that frequent mature woodlands developed somewhat pointier wing tips, says André Desrochers of the Center ...
TORONTO, September 3, 2021 – A new study by Dr. Santiago Claramunt, Associate Curator of Birds at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary ...
Find out how the shape of a bird of prey’s wings will explain why they live where they live. Can you guess where a bird of prey hunts based on the shape of its wings? Major Funding by the Laura Moore ...
State-of-the-art, high-speed cameras record raptor wing and tail motions, informing researchers at UC Davis.
