It’s a boy! In new research from the Australian National University, swift parrot mothers are choosing to hatch their sons earlier than their daughters, meaning they end up with more male offspring. This might seem surprising, because there are fewer female swift parrots than males, but it is actually a clever way of spreading genes. Female swift parrots in Tasmania often get killed and eaten by invasive sugar gliders when they are looking after eggs, but the males don’t. The mother parrots help the male eggs hatch faster, so that they can grow bigger and stronger and fly around breeding ...
Look to dragonflies for better drones Flapping-wing drones are likely to look more and more like insects as their performance increase, according to researchers at the University of South Australia who have made a detailed study of dragonfly flight to improve the design of drones. “Dragonflies are supremely efficient in all areas of flying,” said UniSA professor Javaan Chahl. “They can turn quickly at high speeds and take off while carrying more than three times their own body weight. They are also one of nature’s most effective predators, targeting, chasing and capturing their prey w...
