Our group works on the biomechanics, energetics, and evolution of animal flight. Flight performance is investigated in the laboratory using high-speed three-dimensional videography, metabolic measurements, particle-image velocimetry, and physically-variable gas mixtures. Two current projects are to describe hummingbird kinematic and metabolic responses to various forms of aerodynamic challenge, and to evaluate the functional correlates of…
