Characteristic flight speeds in bats
(2016-12-01)
We present empirical data on flight speed for 30 species of Australian bats representing seven families. These data show five characteristic level flight speeds: ‘minimum’ (Vmin), ‘best efficiency’ (Veff), ‘most common’ ...
ARE CORPORAL ALLOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS GOOD PREDICTORS OF PALATABILITY IN NEOTROPICAL BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA)?

ARE CORPORAL ALLOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS GOOD PREDICTORS of PALATABILITY IN NEOTROPICAL BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA)?
(Amer Entomol Soc, 2010-03-01)
Since palatable butterflies are more dependent on evasive flight to escape from predators, they should be more restricted in their flight-related morphology than unpalatable ones. We compared: the ratios between the (1) ...

Aerodynamic power and mechanical efficiency of bat airframes using a quasi-steady model
(2014-09-01)
Previous bat aerodynamic power models are refined by (1) varying the value of wing profile drag with lift coefficient, which varies with both flight speed and Reynolds number, (2) allowing for the aerodynamic cleanliness ...
INFLUENCE OF AIRSPEED AND ADJUVANTS ON DROPLET SIZE DISTRIBUTION IN AERIAL APPLICATIONS OF GLYPHOSATE
(Amer Soc Agricultural & Biological Engineers, 2018-01-01)
Drift is one of the most hazardous consequences of an improper aerial application of glyphosate. Wind, droplet size, application height, and distance to sensitive areas are the most important factors for drift. Droplet ...
Genetic associations between temperament and performance traits in Nellore beef cattle
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-02-01)
The aim of this study was to estimate genetic associations between temperament and performance traits. Temperament was evaluated in yearling male and female Nellore cattle, using four traits: temperament score (TS), for ...
Lairage time effect on meat quality in Hereford steers in rangeland conditions
(Revista Brasileira Zootecnia Brazilian Journal Animal Sci, 2019-01-01)
This study evaluated lairage time effects on carcass and meat quality traits of Hereford steers. Thirty Hereford steers fed on pasture were assigned to two treatments according to lairage time: 3 h (n = 15) and 12 h (n = ...
