Flying Spiders: Simulating and Modeling the Dynamics of Ballooning
Spiders use a type of aerial dispersal called “ballooning” to move from one location to another. In order to balloon, a spider releases a silk dragline from its spinnerets and when the movement of air relative to the dragline generates enough force, the spider takes flight. We have developed and implemented a model for spider ballooning to identify the crucial physical phenomena driving this un...
متن کاملHoneybee: The flying pharmacist
Honeybee, a small -although powerful- creature moves from one place to another to make an elixir, which cures different diseases. To make one kilogram of honey the small creature has to carry 150000 pieces of pollen and suck the sap of ten million flowers. Both honey and the honeybee poison have been used in treating diseases for thousands of years. The product made by such tiny creatures has b...
متن کاملTough spiders
Spider graphs are the intersection graphs of subtrees of subdivisions of stars. Thus, spider graphs are chordal graphs that form a common superclass of interval and split graphs. Motivated by previous results on the existence of Hamilton cycles in interval, split and chordal graphs, we show that every 3/2-tough spider graph is hamiltonian. The obtained bound is best possible since there are (3/...
متن کاملPeacock spiders
How has the environment at the Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme influenced your work? We develop and use high resolution, dynamic, quantitative readouts of behavior. This is a real strength at the institute and strongly resonates with me due to the approach I developed while working on the cell biology of trachea morphogenesis. For me, biology is about regulating dynamic processes and if you...
