Bird dispersal movements are thought to depend on complex demographic and genetic factors. Dr. Santiago Claramunt, Associate Curator of Birds at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and Assistant Professor ...

Bird wings adapted for long-distance flight are linked to their environment and behavior, according to new research on an extensive database of wing measurements. Bird wings adapted for long-distance ...

Humans have long drawn inspiration from bird wings to design mechanical ones—and now a team of mathematicians has taken this biomimicry to a new level. By 3-D-printing a variety of wing shapes, racing ...

This partially feathered flying machine is a way for scientists to explore the specifics of feathers in flight. (Lentink Lab/Stanford University) Airplanes don’t have feathers, but future drones might ...

Bird dispersal movements are thought to depend on complex demographic and genetic factors. Researchers show that there may be a simpler explanation: bird dispersal distances depend on the morphology ...
