... the impact of the loss of sensory feedback from the pectoral fins on movement kinematics during hover behavior. Research was performed with bluegill sunfish ( Lepomis macrochirus ), a model for understanding the biomechanics of swimming and for bio-inspired design of engineered fins. The bluegill beats its...

... video recordings, we analyse the behaviour of bees as they approach and land on surfaces of various orientations. The bees enter a stable hover phase, immediately prior to touchdown. We have quantified behaviour during this hover phase and examined whether it changes as the tilt of the landing surface...
