drag

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Remoras pick where they stick on blue whales
    Brooke E. Flammang, Simone Marras, Erik J. Anderson, Oriol Lehmkuhl, Abhishek Mukherjee, David E. Cade, Michael Beckert, Jason H. Nadler, Guillaume Houzeaux, Mariano Vázquez, Haley E. Amplo, John Calambokidis, Ari S. Friedlaender, Jeremy A. Goldbogen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb226654 doi: 10.1242/jeb.226654 Published 28 October 2020

    Highlighted Article: Analysis of previously undocumented skimming and sliding behaviors used by remoras reveals they preferentially adhere to areas with reduced drag on blue whales.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Thrust generation during steady swimming and acceleration from rest in anguilliform swimmers
    Kevin T. Du Clos, John O. Dabiri, John H. Costello, Sean P. Colin, Jennifer R. Morgan, Stephanie M. Fogerson, Brad J. Gemmell
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb212464 doi: 10.1242/jeb.212464 Published 18 November 2019

    Summary: During early acceleration from rest, sea lampreys employ distinctive, high-amplitude kinematics that produce thrust through the creation of a high-pressure region just posterior to the head.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The effect of air resistance on the jump performance of a small parasitoid wasp, Anagyrus pseudococci (Encyrtidae)
    Tomer Urca, Gal Ribak
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb177600 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177600 Published 11 April 2018

    Summary: In a small sexually dimorphic parasitoid wasp, smaller males pay a higher penalty of air resistance during take-off jumps. Nevertheless, both sexes achieve outstanding jump heights compared with their body size.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The comparative hydrodynamics of rapid rotation by predatory appendages
    M. J. McHenry, P. S. L. Anderson, S. Van Wassenbergh, D. G. Matthews, A. P. Summers, S. N. Patek
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3399-3411; doi: 10.1242/jeb.140590

    Highlighted Article: Blade-element analysis and computational fluid dynamics are both effective for analyzing mantis shrimp strike hydrodynamics. Mantis shrimp appendage diversification is strongly impacted by the hydrodynamic consequences of size and kinematics.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Assessing hydrodynamic space use of brown trout, Salmo trutta, in a complex flow environment: a return to first principles
    James R. Kerr, Costantino Manes, Paul S. Kemp
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3480-3491; doi: 10.1242/jeb.134775

    Summary: New techniques are used to experimentally demonstrate that energy conservation strategies play a key role in brown trout space use.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Aerodynamic consequences of wing morphing during emulated take-off and gliding in birds
    Brett Klaassen van Oorschot, Emily A. Mistick, Bret W. Tobalske
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 3146-3154; doi: 10.1242/jeb.136721

    Summary: Wing posture has a greater effect on aerodynamic performance during emulated flapping than during emulated gliding. Extended wing morphology (i.e. emarginate primaries) may be more important during take-off and landing than during gliding.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Body density and diving gas volume of the northern bottlenose whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus)
    Patrick Miller, Tomoko Narazaki, Saana Isojunno, Kagari Aoki, Sophie Smout, Katsufumi Sato
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2458-2468; doi: 10.1242/jeb.137349

    Summary: Body density and diving gas volume, two important but poorly understood physiological characteristics of beaked whales, are revealed through analysis of hydrodynamic performance during glides.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mechanical challenges to freshwater residency in sharks and rays
    Adrian C. Gleiss, Jean Potvin, James J. Keleher, Jeff M. Whitty, David L. Morgan, Jeremy A. Goldbogen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1099-1110; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114868

    Summary: The high negative buoyancy of elasmobranchs increases the cost of locomotion and may be responsible for the scarcity of sharks in fresh water.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Bottlenose dolphins modify behavior to reduce metabolic effect of tag attachment
    Julie M. van der Hoop, Andreas Fahlman, Thomas Hurst, Julie Rocho-Levine, K. Alex Shorter, Victor Petrov, Michael J. Moore
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 4229-4236; doi: 10.1242/jeb.108225
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    The hydrodynamics of swimming at intermediate Reynolds numbers in the water boatman (Corixidae)
    Victoria Ngo, Matthew James McHenry
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 2740-2751; doi: 10.1242/jeb.103895
