Microrheology of haemolymph plasma of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 ABSTRACT Viscosity, which impacts the rate of haemolymph circulation and heat transfer, is one of the transport properties that affects the performance of an insect. Measuring the viscosity of insect fluids is challenging because of the small amount available per specimen.
