Landing force reveals new form of motion-induced sound camouflage in a wild predator.

K. Schalcher, E. Milliet, R. Sechaud, R. Buehler, B. Almasi, S. Pottier, P. Becciu, A. Roulin, E. L. C. Shepard

This study measures landing force in barn owls to show how they modulate it for sound camouflage, improving hunting success and linking it to environmental factors.

The role of wingbeat frequency and amplitude in flight power

K. Krishnan, B. Garde, A. Bennison, N. C. Cole, E.-L. Cole, J. Darby, K. H. Elliott, A. Fell, A. Gómez-Laich, S. d. Grissac, M. Jessopp, E. Lempidakis, Y. Mizutani, A. Prudor, M. Quetting, , E. L. C. Shepard

The paper examines how wingbeat frequency and amplitude relate to flight power in birds, finding that amplitude is more variable and better reflects energy demands than frequency alone.

Pelagic seabirds reduce risk by flying into the eye of the storm

E. Lempidakis, E. L. C. Shepard, A. N. Ross, S. Matsumoto, S. Koyama, I. Takeuchi, K. Yoda

The paper tracks seabirds during cyclones and finds they fly toward the storm's eye in strong winds to avoid onshore winds, revealing navigational strategies and risks for juveniles.

The challenges of estimating the distribution of flight heights from telemetry or altimetry data

G. Peron, J. Calabrese, O. Duriez, C. H. Fleming, R. Garcia-Jimenez, A. Johnston, S. Lambertucci, K. Safi, E. L. C. Shepard

This paper examines errors in flight height data from telemetry and altimetry, showing how improper error handling distorts ecological analyses and recommends state-space models for accurate estimation.
