In unfoldings of resonant homoclinic bellows interesting bifurcation phenomena occur: two suspensed Smale horseshoes can collide and disappear in saddle-node bifurcations (all periodic orbits disappear through saddle-node bifurcations, there are no other bifurcations of periodic orbits), or a suspended horseshoe can go through saddle-node and period-doubling bifurcations of the periodic orbits in it to create an additional "doubled horseshoe".
