Revisiting the flight dynamics of take-off of a butterfly: experiments and CFD simulations for a cabbage white butterfly

Kosuke Suzuki, Masashi Nakamura, Masaya Kouji, Masato Yoshino
Journal: Biology Open
Biol Open (2022) 11 (3): bio059136.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.059136
Published: 24 March 2022
...Kosuke Suzuki; Masashi Nakamura; Masaya Kouji; Masato Yoshino ABSTRACT We conducted measurements of the taking-off motion of a butterfly ( Pieris rapae ) and numerical simulations using a computational model reflecting its motion. The computational butterfly model is composed of a thorax...

Excepting Myotis capaccinii , the wings' contribution to take-off performance does not correlate with foraging ecology in six species of insectivorous bat

James D. Gardiner, John D. Altringham, Elena Papadatou, Robert L. Nudds
Journal: Biology Open
Biol Open (2014) 3 (11): 1057–1062.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.20149159
Published: 17 October 2014
...James D. Gardiner; John D. Altringham; Elena Papadatou; Robert L. Nudds ABSTRACT Take-off in bats is separated into two distinct phases: an initial jump and a subsequent wing powered acceleration. Here, using footage from a high-speed camera, the first comparative study of the performance during...

Seasonal differences in jump performance in the Svalbard rock ptarmigan ( Lagopus muta hyperborea )

John J. Lees, Lars P. Folkow, Jonathan R. Codd, Robert L. Nudds
Journal: Biology Open
Biol Open (2014) 3 (4): 233–239.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.20147930
Published: 14 July 2014
... to initiate flight through jumping is critical to predator avoidance and may be influenced by changes in body mass ( M b ). Here we investigate seasonal differences in the jump take-off performance of high Arctic Svalbard rock ptarmigan ( Lagopus muta hyperborea ) resulting from around a 50% increase in M b...
