Nonlinear elasticity and damping govern ultrafast dynamics in click beetles [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Click beetles are among animals that amplify mechanical power output using springs and latches to perform ultrafast movements. Studies involving these animals have been limited to observing the kinematics of the movements. Here, we study the kinematics and dynamics of the extremely fast bending maneuver performed by click beetles

The influence of mature oak stands and spruce plantations on soil-dwelling click beetles in lowland plantation forests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Most European forests have been converted into forest plantations that are managed for timber production. The main goal of this paper was to determine the difference between mature native sessile oak (Quercus petraea) stands and non-indigenous Norway ...
