Raw data from Natural barriers: waterfall transit by small flying animals

Data sets and raw digitization data. (sheet 1) Hummingbirds’ kinematics. (Sheet 2) insects’ kinematics. (sheet 3) balls’ kinematics. (sheet 4-11) 3D digitized points in Cartesian system XYZ in cm of four male hummingbirds flying in still air (control) and crossing through a waterfall. Point 1 (beak), point 2 (eye), point3 (tail base), point 4 (tail tip at the middle), point5 (right wingtip), point 6 (right shoulder), point 7 (left shoulder), point8 (left wingtip), point 9 (right tailtip). (sheet 12-44) 3D digitized points in Cartesian system XYZ in cm of 33 insects (7 bottleflies 24 house flies, one cranefly and one fruit fly crossing through a waterfall. Point 1 (head) and point 2 (abdomen).(sheet 45-46) 2D trajectories in Cartesian system XY in cm of 59 plastic balls shot against a waterfall. Digitalization software is described in: Hedrick, T. L.
