Whether Birds Flap, Glide, or Soar Determines Wing Range of Motion (But Not Wing Shape) (8 of 9)

video: Movie S2 from the Supplementary Materials of Manuscript # aaw6670. Sample of video used to determine linkage trajectory in the spruce grouse (Falcipennis canadensis). Footage comes from one of three cameras used and is representative but not exhaustive of the manipulation employed to capture linkage trajectory. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Oct. 23rd, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by V.B. Baliga at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and colleagues was titled, "Range of motion in the avian wing is strongly associated with flight behavior and body mass." view more
