A biomechanically parsimonious hypothesis for the evolution of flapping flight in terrestrial vertebrates suggests progression within an arboreal context from jumping to directed aerial descent, gliding with control via appendicular motions, and ulti

Morphology influences the rate at which foraging bees visit nectar flowers, the quantity of nectar they must consume to fuel their activities, and, consequently, the profitability of flower species. Because feeding time is a major determinant of visi

SUMMARYThe orchid bee Euglossa imperialis sucks nectars through a slender proboscis. I tested how nectar properties influence this suction pressure and whether ambient air pressure sets the upper limit for suction feeding. Nectar intake rate was meas

I examined relationships between tongue length of orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini) and nectar spur length of their flowers in the genera Calathea, Costus, and Dimerocostus using phylogenetically independent contrasts. Long-tubed flowers have speciali

Because oviposition site selection is often studied in a single ecological context, little is known about flexibility in oviposition strategies. We studied the oviposition site selection strategies of tungara frogs (Physalaemus pustulosus) with respe

SUMMARYWe studied swimming kinematics of the Antarctic pteropod, Clione antarctica, to investigate how propulsive forces are generated by flexible oscillating appendages operating at low Reynolds numbers(1025) exhibited gliding during the recovery ph

SUMMARY To test whether variation in muscle efficiency contributes to thermal stability during flight in the orchid bee, Euglossa imperialis , we measured CO 2 production, heat loss and flight kinematics at different air temperatures ( T a ). We also

The calcified exoskeleton of millipedes plays a crucial role in resisting large forces developed during burrowing locomotion. I measured morphological and mechanical properties of cuticle from the neotropical forest floor millipede, Nyssodesmus pytho

Energy flux during nectar feeding is maximized at an intermediate sugar concentration, the value of which depends on the morphology of the feeding apparatus and the modality of fluid feeding. Biomechanical models predict that a shift from capillary-b
