Ecomorphological analysis of aerial performance in a non-specialized lacertid lizard, Holaspis guentheri.
Controlled aerial descent has evolved at least 30 times independently in different vertebrate and invertebrate lineages. A whole suite of morphological modifications, such as patagia, lateral skin folds and webbed feet, have been suggested to enhance descending ability. In this study, we compare aerial performance (i.e. vertical and horizontal velocity, horizontal distance covered, duration of ...
متن کاملDigestive ecology of two omnivorous Canarian lizard species (Gallotia , Lacertidae)
Omnivorous endemic Canarian lacertids (Gallotia atlantica and G. galloti) do not present any speci c digestive and physiological adaptations to herbivorous diet, compared to species and populations with a different degree of herbivory in the Canarian archipelago. The only characteristics that could be related to the type of diet were the number of cusps per tooth (between species) and the numb...
متن کاملAutomatic Specialized vs. Non-specialized Sentence Differentiation
Compilation of Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) corpora is a task which is fraught with several difficulties (mainly time and human effort), because it is not easy to discern between specialized and non-specialized text. The aim of this work is to study automatic specialized vs. non-specialized sentence differentiation. The experiments are carried out on two corpora of sentences extracted ...
متن کاملAxial muscle function during lizard locomotion
It was recently reported that the epaxial muscles of a lizard, Varanus salvator, function to stabilize the trunk during locomotion, and it was suggested that this stabilizing role may be a shared derived feature of amniotes. This result was unexpected because it had previously been assumed that the epaxial muscles of lizards function to produce lateral bending during locomotion and that only in...
متن کاملMicroraptor: a Low-cost Autonomous Quadrotor System
This paper describes Microraptor, a complete low-cost autonomous quadrotor system designed for surveillance and reconnaissance applications. The Microraptor ground station is custom-made and features a graphical user interface that presents and allows the manipulation of various flight parameters. The aerial vehicle is a 4-rotor vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle that features the adva...
