Aeroacoustics of the quiet flight of hunting owls
Quiet owl flight has been an inspiration for quiet airfoils, and owl hearing is a model for how the brain localizes sound. Yet these two well-studied topics have a virtually unexpl...
Collaborative Research: ORCC: Climate change responses in a globally invasive insect: Quantifying the roles of local adaptation, seasonal adaptation, and phenotypic plasticity
Commonly known as the “spotted wing Drosophila,” Drosophila suzukii has become one of the most captivating cases of rapid worldwide invasion. Originally from southeast Asia, this f...
Collaborative Research: ORCC: Integrating evolutionary adaptive capacity and trophic dynamics to predict multi-species responses to climate change
Changing climates are a major challenge for humans and nature. One of the most important scientific questions of the 21st century is "What will determine the vulnerability of speci...
