Welcome to the Animal Flight Laboratory
|
| Our
lab works on the biomechanics, energetics, and evolution of animal
flight. We use a combination of field and laboratory methods to study
flight performance in a broad diversity of taxa, including insects,
hummingbirds, and various gliding vertebrates. Most studies are
embedded explicitly within phylogenetic contexts to understand both
evolutionary origins and subsequent diversification of flight-related
morphology and performance.
