Fish genomes flying
Introduction Fish models have become very popular during the past decade (see Fig. 1 for phylogenetic relationships). Recently established models for genomic studies (the Japanese and freshwater pufferfish, Fugu rubripes and Tetraodon nigroviridis, respectively) and for developmental biology (the zebrafish, Danio rerio) are now the focus of interest of many biologists, although ‘old’ models are...
متن کاملAerodynamic characteristics of flying fish in gliding flight.
The flying fish (family Exocoetidae) is an exceptional marine flying vertebrate, utilizing the advantages of moving in two different media, i.e. swimming in water and flying in air. Despite some physical limitations by moving in both water and air, the flying fish has evolved to have good aerodynamic designs (such as the hypertrophied fins and cylindrical body with a ventrally flattened surface...
متن کاملHoneybee: The flying pharmacist
Honeybee, a small -although powerful- creature moves from one place to another to make an elixir, which cures different diseases. To make one kilogram of honey the small creature has to carry 150000 pieces of pollen and suck the sap of ten million flowers. Both honey and the honeybee poison have been used in treating diseases for thousands of years. The product made by such tiny creatures has b...

متن کاملTake-off performance of flying fish Cypselurus heterurus doederleini measured with miniature acceleration data loggers
Flying fish (Teleostei: Exocoetidae) glide at a speed considerably faster than they can travel in water. This phenomenon has been investigated and examined from taxonomic, anatomical, aerodynamic and biological standpoints through field observations. However, direct measurements of the flight performance of flying fish at the moment of leaping from the water surface have not previously been per...
