Interactions between fluid flow and elastic structures are important in many naturally
occurring and engineered systems. This review collects and organizes recent theoretical …

Liquid entrainment with a solid architecture passing through the fluid-fluid interface is
ubiquitous and widely used in industrial processes as a liquid transfer method. Besides …

The small structures that decorate biological surfaces can significantly affect behavior, yet
the diversity of animal–environment interactions essential for survival makes ascribing …

Entrainment, where a solid object in a liquid bath moves towards the air phase, is common
in industry and daily-life. However, most research on liquid entrainment has only focused on …

Nectar-feeding birds employ unique mechanisms to collect minute liquid rewards hidden
within floral structures. In recent years, techniques developed to study drinking mechanisms …

Dedicated nectarivory is a derived feeding habit that requires specialized cranial and soft‐
tissue morphologies to extract nectar from flowers. Nectarivory has evolved many times in …

The flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii possess fibrous ultrastructures of a nanometer-
scale thickness known as mastigonemes. These structures have been widely hypothesized …

Bumblebees and some other tiny animals feed on nectar by visiting flowers in their
neighborhood. Some bee species appear to be highly specialized, their tongue being …

We investigated the kinematics and biomechanics of nectar feeding in five species of
honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae, Acanthagenys rufogularis, Ptilotula penicillata …

Animals have developed various drinking strategies in capturing liquid to feed or to stay
hydrated. In contrast with most animals, honey bees Apis mellifera that capture nectar with …
