Samples of the dorsal (middle column) and ventral (left column) sides of wings from bird specimens analyzed by the researchers. The right column depicts a consensus wing shape generated by analyzing ...

Bats are incredibly diverse animals: They can climb onto other animals to drink their blood, pluck insects from leaves or hover to drink nectar from tropical flowers, all of which require distinctive ...

Bird wings adapted for long-distance flight are linked to their environment and behavior, according to new research on an extensive database of wing measurements. Bird wings adapted for long-distance ...

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 ...

A bird banking in a crosswind doesn't rely on spinning blades. Its wings flex, twist and respond instantly to its environment ...

Flapping-wing robots that mimic the flight mechanics of birds and insects are closing the control gap with conventional ...

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 ...
