Abstract:
As a child growing up, I was always in love with the ritual of “dress up”. Whether it was my dolls, various reluctant pets, or myself, it was always an activity I loved. It is not surprising then that adornment has become the medium through which I express myself and bring my fantasy world to life. Jewelry and accessory have the potential to lead many lives. One particular piece can change entirely by putting it on one body as opposed to another, or by removing it to see it as an object. In fashion, the body is the canvas and the runway becomes the moment of performance. My work uses the body in much the same way where the wearer becomes performer. Through this act, we construct personal forms of armor, or “power suits”, to face the battlefield of the outside world. In harnessing this act of adorning and what it encompasses, I am consistently challenged as both designer and maker. Creating alter egos, whether subtly flirtatious or overtly sexual, demure or flamboyant, are some of the many ways in which these “power suits” can be concocted. The stories we project about ourselves daily, through how we adorn our naked bodies, become empowering. Myths versus reality, ascetic versus sensual, and beautiful versus ugly are some of the concepts from which I draw inspiration. These dualities are conceptually expressed in my work through physical combinations of opposing materials. Mixing mediums, through methods such as collaging, beading, needlepointing, knitting, and sewing, are integral in my designs. With alternative materials, such as feathers, textiles, and yarns, I add softness and new scintillating sensations when juxtaposed with the hard, cold qualities of metal. Through combining such materials, I construct pieces that not only challenge one’s notion of what “pretty” is, but also inspire the way one thinks about body adornment. The objects I create become vessels that actualize the dualities I strive to express. In producing hybrids of materials, my need to explore these dichotomies is satisfied.

Abstract:
Pursuit behaviours are vital in predator-prey interactions and in courtship for many flying animals. Existing research on target-directed flight behaviours in insects, birds and bats has aimed at identifying simple geometric rules describing the pursuit-flight trajectories. However, these geometric rules are only part of the picture as they only consider the outcome of the commanded changes in flight kinematics, and not the underlying guidance laws (dynamics) which generate these commands. To intercept a target, a pursuer implements a guidance law using sensory feedback to determine the required change in flight velocity, and the resulting kinematics determines the flight geometry. Most of the research until recently has examined insect flight systems, as the ethics of working with birds of prey are more complex and measuring their wide-ranging flight trajectories is difficult. Studies of predator-prey pursuit in birds have only described the geometrical rules for target interception, therefore overlooking the guidance laws which implement them. Therefore the aim of this thesis is to complete the picture by identifying the guidance laws used by birds of prey as they pursue and intercept targets both in the air and on the ground. I used onboard cameras and GPS to study attack flights in peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus), and high-speed ground photogrammetry for attacks in Harris' hawks (Parabuteo unicinctus), to show that two different raptor species effectively implement the same guidance law of pure proportional navigation for intercepting manouevring and non-manouevring prey-targets. Proportional navigation is a feedback law whereby the bird's line-of-sight rate is fed back, in order to command a turn-rate in proportion to the change in line-of-sight rate, with a constant of proportionality N. Harris' hawks were found to use this guidance law in its simplest case with an N of approximately 1. This amounts to a pure pursuit course, meaning the bird maintains a heading angle of zero at all times (its velocity vector points at the target). Peregrine falcons were found to use a variety of values of N resulting in a quicker path to interception. A remarkable feature of most bird of prey eyes is that they possess two regions of high visual acuity - the shallow and deep foveae. The deep fovea is optimised for long-range vision, and is directed at approximately 45° to the side of the head. It has been proposed that the head is held in line with the body for streamlining, while the body is turned in flight to fixate the image of the prey on the deep fovea, resulting in a curved trajectory. My results contradict this theory, as falcons were seen to use saccadic head movements to maintain the image of the prey in their field of view whilst flying along curved trajectories - suggesting a different visual strategy. I provide the first quantitative analysis of how birds are able to guide their flight for successful prey capture. Not only does this provide new insights into animal behaviour and evolution, but this research has many applications in engineering, where there is a wide and growing interest in vision-based approaches to guidance and control in both civil and military spheres.

Abstract:
Abstract Relationships between predators and prey may affect population dynamics of both parties. Predators may also serve as a link between populations of different prey, e.g., small game and small mammals. I used available data on the diet and reproduction of birds of prey (mainly common buzzards Buteo buteo and goshawks Accipiter gentilis) and video surveillance of their nests, as well as multiannual data on numbers of grouse and small mammals for studying food habits and population dynamics of raptors and their links with population fluctuations of voles and grouse (capercaillie Tetrao urogallus, black grouse Tetrao tetrix and hazel grouse Bonasa bonasia) in western Finland during 1980–1990s when grouse and vole numbers fluctuated in regular cycles. Microtus voles were the main prey of the buzzards which partly switched their diet to small game (juvenile grouse and hares) in years when vole numbers declined. The nesting rate of buzzards also correlated with vole abundance, but the productivity rate and brood size tended to lag behind the vole cycle. This mismatch between the buzzards' functional and numerical responses resulted in a fairly small impact of buzzards on juvenile grouse, which did not correlate with vole density. The productivity of goshawks followed the fluctuations of grouse density closely whereas the occupancy rate of goshawk territories did so with a two-year lag. The annual numerical ratio of goshawk to grouse was inversely related to grouse density, suggesting that this predator may be a destabilising factor for grouse population dynamics. However, the goshawks' kill rate of grouse showed no clear relations to grouse density. In June–July, these birds of prey (including hen harriers Circus cyaneus) usually killed a relatively small number of grouse chicks. Losses to raptors constituted up to one quarter of grouse juvenile mortality during the two months. We did not find a strong effect of avian predators on grouse juvenile mortality. In boreal forests, predators and other factors of grouse mortality do not operate as one, and there is probably no single factor responsible for the reproductive success of grouse.

Abstract:
The interrelationships between species composition, resource-use and availability, breeding and competition were studied in two hill habitat raptor communities in a conserved reserve and an unprotected communal land in Zimbabwe in 1995 and 1996. The conserved Lonestar Study Area (LSA) and the unprotected Communal Land Study area (CLSA) had 38 and 31 raptor species, high and normal diversities for the area sizes respectively. An estimated 147 pairs of 21 raptor species bred in 40km² in the LSA compared to only 26 pairs of 22 raptor species per 40km² in the CLSA. Six species (African Hawk Eagle Hieraaetus spilogaster, Black Eagle Aquila verreauxii, Crowned Eagle Stephanoaetus coronatus, Little Banded Goshawk Accipiter badius, Barn Owl Tyto alba,and Barred Owl Glancidium capense made up 69% of breeding raptors in the LSA, while African Hawk Eagles, Little Banded Goshawks, Barn Owls and Barred Owls made up 58% of the breeding raptors in the CLSA. The abundance of Black, Crowned and African Hawk Eagles in the LSA was linked to abundant hyrax, Heterohyrax brucei and Procavia capensis and juvenile bushbuck Tragelaphus prey, and the high reproduction rates of Natal Francolin Francolinus natalensis (0.7 per ha when not breeding). Little Banded Goshawk and Barn Owl abundances were linked to their ability to change prey preferences according to prey availability. A fairly high rate of breeding attempts by eagles in the LSA in both years (60 - 76% of all pairs per year)was probably also linked to prey abundance, Most breeding failures were predator related, and were more common in areas of relatively low nesting densities indicating lower parental vigilance there. High eagle breeding densities were associated with small mean territory sizes in the LSA (7.7 - 10.7km² for the main eagle species). Eagles in the LSA usually nested closer to another eagle species than a conspecific, resulting in regular distributions of nests and no territory overlap within species. Differences in daily flight activity of eagles in both study areas, and in the onset of breeding between LSA eagles probably reduced interspecific aggression. Interspecific competition food and nest sites amongst LSA eagles was possibly lessened by slight ditferences in resource selection. Raptor resources were mostly unaffected by human activities in either study area during the study period. Differences in the raptor communities were probably as a result of natural habitat differences. The CLSA raptors potentially face resource loss through forest clearing and hunting. An expansion of the present CAMPFIRE program will protect the CLSA raptors.

Abstract:
The ability to accurately identify individuals is required for the detailed study of animals. Numerous artificial markers have been developed for this purpose. Negative effects on survival, reproductive success and behavior have been reported for most marking methods, significantly affecting the very parameters being studied.
Birds of prey have suffered the shortcomings of artificial marking methods. In light of the known and potential deleterious effects of marking, attention has been focused on developing new techniques to identify individual raptors without attaching artificial markers.
This study investigated the use of tarsal scale patterns as unique individual identifiers in birds of prey. The American kestrel (Falco sparverius) was chosen as a model. Both legs of seventy-five kestrels were photographed over a two-year period.
Photographic comparisons of 150 scale patterns demonstrated the uniqueness of each and therefore its ability to be used as an individual's natural identifier. Furthermore, patterns were found to remain unchanged from one year to the next. These findings support the hypotheses that tarsal scale patterns are unique to each bird and do not change over time.
A method of coding the tarsal scale patterns was developed. These codes can be used in a computerized data base to significantly enhance the speed of pattern searches.

Abstract:
The conditions and characteristics of the nutrition of the golden bee-eater Meropsapiaster Linnaeus, 1758 (Coraciiformes, Meropidae) were studied in the conditions of forest-steppe landscapes of the Ulyanovsk region (Middle Volga region) during 2007–2019. The choice and preferences of the nest-suitable biotopes of the golden bee-eater are determined by the mechanical and geochemical composition of the soil - burrowing birds and sclerophiles, which include the golden-bee-eater, prefer dense and rather heavy soil for establishing nesting holes in the forest-steppe landscapes of the Ulyanovsk Region. Analysis of feed objects indicates, on the one hand, the low specificity of their choice, and on the other hand, the pronounced features of eating behavior and the choice of insect prey, which will ultimately determine the food preferences of birds.

Drawing inspiration from aerial hunting by birds of prey, we design and equip a quadrotor MAV with an actuated appendage enabling grasping and object retrieval at high speeds. We develop a nonlinear dynamic model of the system, demonstrate that the system is differentially flat, plan dynamic trajectories using the flatness property, and present experimental results with pick-up velocities at 2 m/s (6 body lengths / second) and 3 m/s (9 body lengths / second). Finally, the experimental results are compared with observations derived from video footage of a bald eagle swooping down and snatching a fish out of water.

Abstract:
Abstract Morphing wings and the adaptive systems they form have been developed significantly over recent decades. Increased efficiency and control performance can be achieved with their implementation, while advances in material technology, system integration and control, have allowed concepts to present a realistic alternative to fixed-wing and aft-tail aircraft. Set out in this paper is the preliminary design and development for a novel span-wise morphing concept which employs and heavily implements biomimetic design. Specifically, the skeletal structure of the bird wing by mimicking the humerus, ulna/radius, and carpometacarpus of birds of prey as they exhibit the most versatile wing shape enabling multiple manoeuvre and flight types. The concept comprises three sections corresponding to the skeletal structure, each consisting of a leading edge D-spar and an internal structural member onto which trailing edge plates are mounted. Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuators are presented as a drive for a biologically derived ‘drawing-parallels’ mechanism, through which a 75% semi-span length change and variable sweep angle, can be obtained. Analysis of initial CFD results is discussed in comparison with similar concepts in the field and a proposal for small scale wind tunnel verification put forward. While a rapid prototype is printed to confirm the viability of the concept.
