Comparison of Visually Guided Flight in Insects and Birds
Over the last half century, work with flies, bees, and moths have revealed a number of visual guidance strategies for controlling different aspects of flight. Some algorithms, such as the use of pattern velocity in forward flight, are employed by all insects studied so far, and are used to control multiple flight tasks such as regulation of speed, measurement of distance, and positioning throug...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Intraspecific Brood Parasitism in Birds and Insects.
Many species of birds and insects engage in intraspecific brood parasitism (IBP), when a female lays eggs in the nest of a conspecific and leaves without providing parental care. These visiting females may also act to cooperate with a primary female, staying to provide parental care. Therefore, IBP and cooperative breeding can be considered extremes on a continuum of parental care provided by a...
متن کاملSerological Monitoring of Avian Influenza in Migratory Birds of Iran
Although migratory waterfowl is well known to be a major reservoir for avian influenza virus (AIV), there are only few recently published reports about the seroprevalence of AIV in this group of birds. To investigate the AIV antibody status in migratory waterfowl of Iran, we collected 217 serum samples from 25 different species of waterfowl during 2003 and 2004. These serum samples were teste...
متن کاملP5.13 Detection of Birds and Insects Using Polarimetric Radar Observation
It has been known that polarimetric radar can discriminate biological and meteorological scatterers. Furthermore, Zrnic and Ryzhkov (1998) have shown that the polarimetric properties of small Rayleigh scatterers like insects and large non-Rayleigh scatterers like birds are significantly different. Vaughn (1985) has stated that prolate spherical water drops are a better model of birds and insect...
متن کاملCorrelations Between Insects and Birds in Tallgrass Prairie Riparian Habitats
Previous observations in riparian habitats of Kings Creek, Konza Prairie Research Natural Area, Kansas indicated that emerging aquatic insects represent a concentrated source of food for insectivorous birds, particularly the flycatcher and gleaner guilds. This hypothesis was tested by concurrent measurements of net insect emergence (total emergence minus adults returning to the stream) and dens...
