April 18, 201816,How Do Hummingbirds Fly Without Crashing?蜂鸟是如何避免撞墙的?Nothing gets between a hummingbird and its nectar. Nothing.A new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that Anna’s Hummingbirds connect different visual cues to keep from crashing into things duiring their high-speed journeys to collect pollen.Humans, along with many types of flying insects, can calculate how close an object is based on how quickly it passes through their visual field. “A good example of this is when we drive down the road—if it takes some time to pass a building in the distance, we know it’s far,” says Roslyn Dakin, a zoologist at the University of British Columbia and main author of the study.Anna’s Hummingbirds, however, take a different approach: They gauge the size of the objects in front of them and use that information to steer their movements, allowing them to make split-second decisions and avoid collisions.To study these reflexes up close, researchers built an 18-foot-long tunnel with a perch on one end and a sugar-water feeder at the other, and attached different patterns to the walls. They then installed eight cameras to record the hummingbirds’ movements.The videos show the birds veering away when the patterns are vertical and bigger than half an inch . But they don't completely disregard speed either: When moving up and down, they carefully account for how fast they encounter the objects. This technique, known as image velocity, is also used by flies. “This way they can avoid crashing into the ground,” says Dakin. By weighing size and the rate of approach, the animals know exactly when to swerve, while flying vertically or horizontally at speeds of up to 50 miles an hour. Now that's real cruise control. 如果你希望查看音频内容讲解与分析,请关注微信公号【荒野苏州】,加入我们的自然课堂!如果你希望周末带孩子走进自然,请申请成为“荒野俱乐部”会员。拓展孩子的词汇量 提高孩子的表达能力 本专辑原创音频版权归“荒野苏州”所有,未经授权许可,严禁用于其他平台或商业用途!...more3minPlay
April 12, 201815,the magic of moss ( Part 2 )乡村日记:神奇的苔藓 (2) These 5cm-tall forests of interwoven fresh growth, descendants of the first plants that began to colonise dry land half a billion years ago, are microcosms, home to a vast array of small animals; nematode worms, mites, midges and molluscs thrive in their shady, damp recesses. It’s tempting to let the imagination wander here too, to pick up a hand lens and follow a millipede into the deepest recesses of the wildwood of mosses. So much of natural history focuses on charismatic organisms like birds and mammals, overlooking the world at the soil surface where the foundations of biodiversity lie. 如果你希望查看音频内容讲解与分析,请关注微信公号【荒野苏州】,加入我们的自然课堂!如果你希望周末带孩子走进自然,请申请成为“荒野俱乐部”会员。拓展孩子的词汇量 提高孩子的表达能力 本专辑原创音频版权归“荒野苏州”所有,未经授权许可,严禁用于其他平台或商业用途!...more3minPlay
