(CN) - A new study on bird wing shape has found a pattern among birds of the same ancestry, called clades, and little correlation among flight styles. Previous wing shape studies have measured bone ...
You can know a lot of things about birds just by the shape of their wings. A seafaring albatross, stretching out its sail-like airfoils, lives a very different life from a ground-dwelling antpitta ...
“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 ...
(CN) — Scientists have discovered two distinct subspecies of fork-tailed flycatchers that communicate with each other by producing a high-pitched frequency with their feathers — and exhibit regional ...
Geographic and phylogenetic sampling of avian wing-bone morphology. Using measurements from 7366 skeletal specimens, we analyze variation in wing-bone length across 1520 bird species, representing ...
Dark feathers may help birds fly more efficiently. They heat up the animals’ wings and the surrounding air, which might help increase airflow over the wing. Svana Rogalla at Ghent University in ...
Researchers at Stanford University have used a high-speed laser imaging technique to directly view the wake turbulence generated by a bird in flight for the first time - and discovered that the models ...
Horned screamers, the official bird of the Department of Arauca and the Municipality of Arauca in Colombia, could be mistaken ...
