13 mar 2015 · In this review, we focus on the physical aspects of how glide trajectories are produced, and additionally discuss the range of morphologies and postures that are used to control aerial movements across the broad diversity of animal gliders.
27 lut 2023 · Gliding animals employ a diverse range of aerodynamic surfaces to generate lift and drag forces, from membrane wings in mammals, Draco lizards, fish, and squid, to smaller structures including skin flaps, flattened bodies, and appendages in geckos, snakes, frogs, spiders, and ants.
7 wrz 2023 · Alternation of left and right antimeres of segmental structures, generally known as the glide-reflection symmetry, was found to be unexpectedly widespread in deuterostomes. It occurs in both somatic and visceral organs.
29 cze 2011 · These models give insight into the comparative costs of gliding in large and small animals, but rely on generalized estimates of locomotor behavior and glide performance. However, two important predictions have emerged from the models.
17 maj 2017 · Introduction. Symmetry is a frequent pattern in nature, often perceived as a source of beauty, and is also a salient property of animal body plans. The concept of the body plan can be defined as an ontogenetic pattern-organising algorithm, thanks to which the body develops in a specific order.
gliding animal must create aerodynamic forces of lift and drag that both help to support its weight and direct it horizontally, as well as distribute those forces in a way that keeps the body...
