## Abstract Lateral flight evoked by dropping appeared 7–9 days after hatching. Drop‐evoked bilaterally symmetrical wing extension and slow, low‐amplitude wing‐flapping were present by Day 1. Flapping rate measured using strobophotography increased up to approximately 13 days. Normal wing‐flapping

## Abstract The avian wrist is extraordinarily adapted for flight. Its intricate osteology is constructed to perform four very different, but extremely important, flight‐related functions.

## Abstract Sir James Lighthill proposed a method for estimating the hydrodynamic forces generated by slender fish, and his analysis made clear the mechanism of fish swimming. His method is based on slender body theory, and the hydrodynamic forces produced by fish are explained by their kinematics
