aeRODYNAMICS AND HYDRODYNAMICS OF THE ‘HOVERING’ FLIGHT OF WILSON’S STORM PETREL
Wilsons Storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) Science Article 5 abstract Wilson’s storm petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) characteristically feeds by’ hovering’ over the water surface, but its technique for this is unlike that ofother flying vertebrates. The kinematics and aerodynamics of this ‘ hovering’flight were investigated to determine the possible sources of lift PHILIP C. WITHERS, J. exp. Biol. […]

Olfactory foraging strategies of procellariiform seabirds
White-faced Storm-petrel (Pelagodroma marina) Science Article 1 abstract The study of olfactory foraging ability in procellariiform seabirds is now beginning to explore how species aremorphologically and behaviorally adapted to track odor plumes, and to relate these findings to models of odor transport innatural situations. According to the models, odors in atmospheric flow tend to be […]
