Aerodynamics Effect of Holes in UAV Wings Modified for VTOL Capability

Laith S. Sawaqed et al.

Summary: This research explores the possibility of modifying the X8 Skywalker from a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle into a convertiplane. Computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel experiments were conducted to analyze the performance of different wing configurations. The results indicate that the proposed modifications can generate enough lift despite reducing the wing area, with the filleted hole configuration demonstrating less drag and turbulence effects at low angles of attack.

The food web in a subterranean ecosystem is driven by intraguild predation

Andrea Parimuchova et al.

Summary: The study used molecular methods to analyze the food web in the subterranean ecosystem of Ardovska Cave in Slovakia, revealing different trophic interactions among cave arthropod predators. The research found high levels of intraguild predation and intraspecific consumption, highlighting the importance of intraguild diet in predators within subterranean ecosystems.

Cave amphipods reveal co-variation between morphology and trophic niche in a low-productivity environment

Ester Premate et al.

Summary: It was found in the study that in environments with limited groundwater resources, there is a strong correlation between the morphological characteristics and trophic habits of Niphargus amphipods. Species with larger and more powerful gnathopods tend to have higher trophic positions, indicating a close relationship between morphology and trophic habits.

A subterranean adaptive radiation of amphipods in Europe

Spela Borko et al.

Summary: The study presented evidence for a large adaptive radiation of the subterranean amphipod genus Niphargus, indicating that multiple subordinate adaptive radiations make up the major adaptive radiation, which originated around 15 million years ago in association with the uplift of carbonate massifs in South-Eastern Europe.
