Figure 8. There are also clear differences in yaw stability at different angles of attack.

Figure 8

A, At 0Inline graphic, some postures are more stable in yaw than others. B, At 60Inline graphic, postures that were stable at 0Inline graphic may go unstable, such as tent posture. C, At 90Inline graphic, all postures are marginally stable due to symmetry (lines flat, yawing does not alter position relative to flow). Color represents the base posture: red for sprawled, blue for tent. Organisms may have navigated this transition from 90Inline graphic to 0Inline graphic.
