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 ...

The Wright Brothers studied bird flight before they designed the first airplane. Now modern aircraft fly higher and faster than any bird, yet no manufactured device matches the graceful movements and ...

“Awkward” would probably be the most benevolent word I could use to describe the explosive launch into flight of the California quail. Certainly, the words graceful or athletic do not come to mind. A ...

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 ...

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 ...
