The baffling world of bird noses
I'm happy to announce the publication of our latest paper. Bourke, J.M., Witmer, L.M. 2016. Nasal Conchae Function as Aerodynamic Baffles: Experimental Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis in a Turkey Nose (Aves: Galliformes). Resp Physiol Neurobiol. 234:32–46. (freely available to 1st November 2016) Working with my advisor, Larry Witmer, at Ohio University, we tackled the question of conchae function in birds. What are conchae and how do they function? Read on to find out. B
