  • 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
    Kinematics and aerodynamics of avian upstrokes during slow flight
    Kristen E. Crandell, Bret W. Tobalske
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2518-2527; doi: 10.1242/jeb.116228

    Summary: Some birds exhibit an upstroke style that enhances aerodynamic force production during energetically expensive slow flight. This aerodynamic signature is closely linked with their wing motion.

  • 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.

    Intertidal sea stars (Pisaster ochraceus) alter body shape in response to wave action
    Kurtis J. R. Hayne, A. Richard Palmer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2013 216: 1717-1725; doi: 10.1242/jeb.078964
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Ontogeny of aerodynamics in mallards: comparative performance and developmental implications
    Terry R. Dial, Ashley M. Heers, Bret W. Tobalske
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2012 215: 3693-3702; doi: 10.1242/jeb.062018
