flight control

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Asymmetry costs: effects of wing damage on hovering flight performance in the hawkmoth Manduca sexta
    María José Fernández, Marion E. Driver, Tyson L. Hedrick
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3649-3656; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153494

    Summary: Asymmetric wing damage in hawkmoths is approximately twice as costly as symmetric damage.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Flight control of fruit flies: dynamic response to optic flow and headwind
    Kiaran K. K. Lawson, Mandyam V. Srinivasan
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2005-2016; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153056

    Summary: Measurement and characterisation of the dynamic flight response of fruit flies reveal that their flight controller weighs visual and wind stimuli approximately equally, to produce flight thrust and adjust the pitch of the abdomen.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Optic flow stabilizes flight in ruby-throated hummingbirds
    Ivo G. Ros, Andrew A. Biewener
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 2443-2448; doi: 10.1242/jeb.128488

    Summary: Ruby-throated hummingbirds appear to use optic flow to stabilize flight, similar to insects, by rotating with and following projected moving patterns in a flight arena.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Pitch perfect: how fruit flies control their body pitch angle
    Samuel C. Whitehead, Tsevi Beatus, Luca Canale, Itai Cohen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3508-3519; doi: 10.1242/jeb.122622

    Summary: High-speed videography of free-flying Drosophila reveals their active control mechanism for counter-pitching perturbations, which is rapid, robust and consistent with linear control theory.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A visual horizon affects steering responses during flight in fruit flies
    Jorge Caballero, Chantell Mazo, Ivan Rodriguez-Pinto, Jamie C. Theobald
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2942-2950; doi: 10.1242/jeb.119313

    Summary: During flight, fruit flies track visual features more strongly if they dip below a visual horizon, consistent with using the horizon to judge distance.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Haltere mechanosensory influence on tethered flight behavior in Drosophila
    Shwetha Mureli, Jessica L. Fox
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2528-2537; doi: 10.1242/jeb.121863

    Summary: Fly mechanosensory organs influence wing-steering responses to visual stimuli in a context-dependent way.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Bumblebees measure optic flow for position and speed control flexibly within the frontal visual field
    Nellie Linander, Marie Dacke, Emily Baird
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 1051-1059; doi: 10.1242/jeb.107409

    Summary: Bumblebees control their flight using motion cues generated by the nearest obstacles in the frontal visual field, a strategy that enables them to fly safely in cluttered environments.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Body saccades of Drosophila consist of stereotyped banked turns
    Florian T. Muijres, Michael J. Elzinga, Nicole A. Iwasaki, Michael H. Dickinson
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 864-875; doi: 10.1242/jeb.114280

    Summary: Using high-speed 3D videography and a dynamically scaled robotic fly, we studied the biomechanics and aerodynamics of saccadic turns in flying flies. We show that these maneuvers are remarkably stereotypic.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    The stimuli evoking the aerial-righting posture of falling pea aphids
    Yonatan Meresman, Gal Ribak, Daniel Weihs, Moshe Inbar
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 3504-3511; doi: 10.1242/jeb.107490
  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Control of moth flight posture is mediated by wing mechanosensory feedback
    Bradley H. Dickerson, Zane N. Aldworth, Thomas L. Daniel
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 2301-2308; doi: 10.1242/jeb.103770
