The brain's sensory lateralization involves the processing of information from organs primarily in one hemisphere. This can improve brain efficiency by reducing interference and duplication neural circuits. For species that rely on successful interaction among family partners, such as geese, be advantageous. However, at group level, one-sided biases make individuals predictable to competitors predators. We investigated lateral preferences positioning pair mates Greater white-fronted geese
The detection of flying targets in the night sky has provided interest for bird migration research over many years with methods largely dependent on moon watching or use radar and infrared camera. These lack versatility system described this paper which detects automatically records aerial a size greater than 5 cm at distance 100 to 1000 metres from observer. principle design features are first, an optical device receiving images two high-sensitivity CCD matrices when illuminated by white...
Abstract Visual lateralization arises from the differential processing of information by two brain hemispheres and can manifest itself in animal behaviour form lateral preferences. Current evidence suggests that social coordination serves as a driving force for emergence one‐sided behavioural preferences populations. Collective movement is one most basic ubiquitous examples coordinated behaviour. Very little known, however, about lateralized interactions such complex sensory demanding mode...
Birds possess behavioural and physiological adaptations which permit them to minimize time energy expenditure during migration in a broad spectrum of winds, for instance, by varying their airspeed. Nocturnally migrating birds were recorded an optical-electronic matrix system, permitted recording images flight parameters the dark. Among medium size birds, Song Thrushes (Turdus philomelos) identified silhouette, linear size, wing-beat pattern, phenology. The equivalent airspeed at sea level...
The paper presents research results of fractal properties microplasma noise at LED avalanche breakdown in the visible spectrum (λ= 660; 700 nm). type p-n-junctionwas determined as a result measured current-voltage characteristics room temperature, temperature 100-105 °C and after cooling down to temperature. It was shown that is realized majority LEDs. established partial mode may be LEDs, when small current flows pulses through device. By increasing voltage, pulse amplitude increases,...
Nocturnally migrating birds were observed with Electronic-optical system for registration. The Song Thrushes have been distinguished among the nocturnal migrants by linear size, wing-beat pattern and phonological data. airspeed of thrushes varies depending on wind direction velocity. It increases increasing headwind component relative to its value in calm air decreases tail-wind component. speed migratory flight is proportional an effective frequency calculated flapping phases pauses between...
