Navigation and Orientation
When moving over both short and long distances, birds that have a specific destination must be able to determine their location and the direction...

Quantification of Cell Division Angles in the Arabidopsis Root
In many plant tissues, division plane orientation within cell files is highly predictable since all cells divide almost perpendicular to the cell...

Biomechanics of nectar feeding explain flower orientation in plants pollinated by long-proboscid flies
The function of flower orientation is much debated, with adaptation to pollinator mouthparts being a particularly compelling explanation, but also...

That was a foul! How viewing angles, viewing distances, and visualization methods influence football referees’ decision-making
A football referee must choose the right position on the field in order to perceive a foul accurately. In previous research, decision-making for foul...

Oblique radiographic measurement of knot position and orientation in logs
A novel X-ray scanner system to identify the positions of knots in logs is described. The scanner has a simple, low-cost design that is suitable for...

Effects of floral symmetry and orientation on the consistency of pollinator entry angle
Since the publication of Sprengel’s (1793) observations, it has been considered that flowers with zygomorphic (or bilaterally symmetrical) corollas...

A potential candidate gene associated with the angles of the ear leaf and the second leaf above the ear leaf in maize
BackgroundLeaf angle is a key trait for maize plant architecture that plays a significant role in its morphological development, and ultimately...

Permittivity tensor imaging: modular label-free imaging of 3D dry mass and 3D orientation at high resolution
The dry mass and the orientation of biomolecules can be imaged without a label by measuring their permittivity tensor (PT), which describes how...

AMBRA1 phosphorylation by CDK1 and PLK1 regulates mitotic spindle orientation
AMBRA1 is a crucial factor for nervous system development, and its function has been mainly associated with autophagy. It has been also linked to...

Visual learning in tethered bees modifies flight orientation and is impaired by epinastine
Visual-orientation learning of a tethered flying bee was investigated using a flight simulator and a novel protocol in which orientation preference...

Evidence for a consistent use of external cues by marine fish larvae for orientation
The larval stage is the main dispersive process of most marine teleost species. The degree to which larval behavior controls dispersal has been a...

Comparison of classical beam theory and finite element modelling of timber from fibre orientation data according to knot position and loading type
Timber mechanical properties assessment relies on grading methods that use non-destructive measurements in input, among which fibre orientation gives...

Stay the course: maintenance of consistent orientation by commuting penguins both underwater and at the water surface
Many marine vertebrates traverse more than hundreds of kilometres of the ocean. To efficiently achieve such long-distance movements, the ability to...

Elastoplastic performance of wood under compression load considering cross-grain orientation and moisture content
This study explored the feasibility of the finite element method (FEM) and Hankinson formula to predict the compressive properties of cross-grain...

Optimization of Potato Sprout Orientation Angle and Effective Weed Management Practice to Produce Higher Economical Tuber Yield from Cut Tuber Planting
AbstractPotato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important food crop in the world. The tuber yield of potato is dependent on cultivar,...
