We discuss the importance of tail research in relation to five topics: (1) evolution and development, (2) regeneration, (3) functional morphology, (4) sensorimotor control, and (5) computational and physical …

Tail Tales Whether it’s long, short, bushy, or straight - there’s no warmer welcome than a wagging tail! Specific terms describe different types of tails. Read the descriptions below and...

In this chapter, after describing the tail primary functions, and introducing fundamentals that govern the tail performance, techniques and procedure to design the horizontal tail and vertical tail will be provided.

Here we present evidence that an individual insertion of an Alu element in the genome of the hominoid ancestor may have contributed to tail-loss evolution.

Here, we will discuss the function and dynamics of the tail of the Caudovirales. We will examine the similarities and differences of all three families belonging to this order and point out specific …

With the tailwheel-type airplane, the two main landing gear struts are attached to the airplane slightly ahead of the airplane’s center of gravity (CG), so that the plane naturally rests in a nose-high attitude …

In this study, we compare two gene markers that are expressed in distinct regions of the blastopore of the early gastrula and whose expression can be followed continuously as they become localized to …
