Movie 1.

Swept (symmetric) and sideways (asymmetric) aperture negotiation strategies. For each strategy, side and top camera views of a representative trial are played at 1/20 speed, followed by a grid showing four examples of the strategy for each of the four birds in the study (trials shown in the same row are from the same bird).
