Ontogeny of aerial righting and wing flapping in juvenile birds
Dennis Evangelista, Sharlene Cam, Tony Huynh +2
Mechanisms of aerial righting in juvenile Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar) were studied from hatching through 14 days post hatching (dph). Asymmetric movements of the wings were…
Shifts in stability and control effectiveness during evolution of Paraves support aerial maneuvering hypotheses for flight origins
Dennis Evangelista, Sharlene Cam, Tony Huynh +4
The capacity for aerial maneuvering shaped the evolution of flying animals. Here we evaluate consequences of aviaian morphology for aerial performance (1,2) by quantifying static s…
Spatial Scaling in Model Plant Communities
Tommaso Zillio, Igor Volkov, Jayanth R. Banavar +2
We present an analytically tractable variant of the voter model that provides a quantitatively accurate description of beta-diversity (two-point correlation function) in two tropic…
Neutral Theory and Relative Species Abundance in Ecology
Igor Volkov, Jayanth R. Banavar, Stephen P. Hubbell +1
The theory of island biogeography[1] asserts that an island or a local community approaches an equilibrium species richness as a result of the interplay between the immigration of…
