flight control

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The role of lateral optic flow cues in hawkmoth flight control
    Anna Stöckl, Rebecca Grittner, Keram Pfeiffer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb199406 doi: 10.1242/jeb.199406 Published 5 July 2019

    Summary: Hummingbird hawkmoths use optic flow similarly to flies and bees to control their position, but not their speed, in flight tunnel experiments.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Avian surface reconstruction in free flight with application to flight stability analysis of a barn owl and peregrine falcon
    Nicholas E. Durston, Xue Wan, Jian G. Liu, Shane P. Windsor
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb185488 doi: 10.1242/jeb.185488 Published 8 May 2019

    Summary: A novel photogrammetry method to reconstruct the surface geometry of flying birds is presented and used to analyse the gliding flight of a barn owl and peregrine falcon.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Avoiding topsy-turvy: how Anna's hummingbirds (Calypte anna) fly through upward gusts
    Marc A. Badger, Hao Wang, Robert Dudley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb176263 doi: 10.1242/jeb.176263 Published 4 February 2019

    Summary: Hummingbirds flying through intense upward gusts experience pronounced downward pitching motions (i.e. nose dives). In response, they interrupt flapping, hold the wings dorsally, and angle and fan the tail.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Differences in spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity of flight control in the honeybees Apis cerana and Apis mellifera
    Aravin Chakravarthi, Santosh Rajus, Almut Kelber, Marie Dacke, Emily Baird
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb184267 doi: 10.1242/jeb.184267 Published 17 October 2018

    Summary: Closely related honeybee species exhibit surprising differences in their spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity when controlling flight.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Asymmetry costs: effects of wing damage on hovering flight performance in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta
    María José Fernández, Marion E. Driver, Tyson L. Hedrick
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3649-3656; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153494

    Summary: Asymmetric wing damage in hawkmoths is approximately twice as costly as symmetric damage.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flight control of fruit flies: dynamic response to optic flow and headwind
    Kiaran K. K. Lawson, Mandyam V. Srinivasan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2005-2016; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153056

    Summary: Measurement and characterisation of the dynamic flight response of fruit flies reveal that their flight controller weighs visual and wind stimuli approximately equally, to produce flight thrust and adjust the pitch of the abdomen.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Optic flow stabilizes flight in ruby-throated hummingbirds
    Ivo G. Ros, Andrew A. Biewener
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2443-2448; doi: 10.1242/jeb.128488

    Summary: Ruby-throated hummingbirds appear to use optic flow to stabilize flight, similar to insects, by rotating with and following projected moving patterns in a flight arena.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Pitch perfect: how fruit flies control their body pitch angle
    Samuel C. Whitehead, Tsevi Beatus, Luca Canale, Itai Cohen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3508-3519; doi: 10.1242/jeb.122622

    Summary: High-speed videography of free-flying Drosophila reveals their active control mechanism for counter-pitching perturbations, which is rapid, robust and consistent with linear control theory.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A visual horizon affects steering responses during flight in fruit flies
    Jorge Caballero, Chantell Mazo, Ivan Rodriguez-Pinto, Jamie C. Theobald
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2942-2950; doi: 10.1242/jeb.119313

    Summary: During flight, fruit flies track visual features more strongly if they dip below a visual horizon, consistent with using the horizon to judge distance.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Haltere mechanosensory influence on tethered flight behavior in Drosophila
    Shwetha Mureli, Jessica L. Fox
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2528-2537; doi: 10.1242/jeb.121863

    Summary: Fly mechanosensory organs influence wing-steering responses to visual stimuli in a context-dependent way.
