The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close

Insect‐Inspired Drones: Adjusting the Flapping Kinetics of Insect‐Inspired Wings Improves Aerodynamic Performance

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2024.
Insects flap wings via a complex musculoskeletal system, enabling 3D wingtip trajectory adjustment. Thoracic muscles act on the wing hinge, while wing flexibility enables shape changes. Traditional linear flapping mechanisms can be improved using biomimetic mechanisms introducing wing rotation and passive wing pitch to improve drone performance. Tested
