We first examined the evolution of synchrony and asynchrony using maximum-likelihood phylogenetic state reconstruction14(Methods). We find that there has most probably been only one evolution of flight muscle asynchrony at the order level. There is an 86% probability that a single transition from sy...
The evolution of powered flight in insects had major consequences for global biodiversity and involved the acquisition of adaptive processes allowing individuals to disperse to new ecological niches. Flies use both vision and olfactory input from their antennae to guide their flight; chemosensors on fly...
"In addition to helping clarify the evolution and biophysics of insect flight, the work has benefits for robotics. Robots with asynchronous motors can rapidly adapt and respond to the environment, such as during a wind-gust or wing collision," Gravish said. The research also could help robotici...
Modularity of migratory flight behavior components has implications for the evolution of long-distance migratory flight. Migratory flight behavior modularity is consistent with the long-distance navigation hypothesis posited by Mouritsen84 in which long-distance navigation comprises three distinct phases (lon...

On the Wing is the first book to take a comprehensive look at the evolution of flight in all four groups of powered flyers: insects, pterosaurs, birds and bats. David Alexander describes and evaluates both traditional and modern... DOI: 10.1642/AUK-15-210.1 被引量: 6 年份: 2015 收藏...
Butterflies : Ecology and Evolution Taking Flight The vortex wake of a bird in steady forward flight is modelled by a chain of elliptical vortex rings, each generated by a single downstroke. The shape and inclination of each ring are determined by the downstroke geometry, and the size o......
small body size. If this flight style is common for miniature beetles, it may largely explain their worldwide abundance. Further studies of other microinsects with bristled wings will help to reveal the causes of the convergent evolution of ptiloptery during miniaturization in many groups of ...
Broadly, his research interests include major transitions in evolution, chiefly evolution of flight in mammals, integrating multiple sources of evidence such as fossils, aerodynamics, paleobiology, development, and phylogenetics.
