Description
Summary:Supplementary Video S1. Schematic video representation of P. nathusii flying in a wind tunnel. Top panel shows the side view of an individual, bottom panel shows an example of the vortex structures of the wake generated by a bat in flight from the rear. The downstroke generates thrust and weight support, while the upstroke wake shows the bat-characteristic inverse vortex rings indicative of negative weight support and thrust production. NB. the same bat is not depicted in both videos.
