The explanatory power of the lift equation in the wingbeat kinematics, motor control, and evolution of animal flight

我的研究计划的最终目标是回答两个相互交织的问题：1)鸟类如何整合来自头部、身体和翅膀的感觉信息，并产生控制扑动运动和翅膀动态形状的运动命令，以应对空气动力学挑战？2)飞行控制机制如何影响鸟类的飞行进化和飞行性能的多样性？飞行的鸟类必须极其精确地调节和平衡力，以完成不同的行为，但鸟类是如何做到这一点的，人们还不太清楚。空气动力是由空气密度（ρ），机翼速度(

The ultimate goal of my research program is to answer two intertwined questions: 1) How do birds incorporate sensory information from the head, body, and wings, and generate motor commands for controlling the flapping motion and dynamic shape of wings in response to aerodynamic challenges? 2) How do mechanisms of flight control shape the evolution of flight and diversity of flight performance in birds? Flying birds must modulate and balance force with extreme precision to perform different behaviours, but how birds do this is not well understood. Aerodynamic force is determined by air density (ρ), wing velocity (
