Allometry of wing twist and camber in a flower chafer during free flight: How do wing deformations scale with body size? [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Intraspecific variation in adult body mass can be particularly high in some insect species, mandating adjustment of the wing's structural properties to support the weight of the larger body mass in air.

Leaf volatile and nonvolatile metabolites show different levels of specificity in response to herbivory. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We test how insect herbivore species, order, feeding guild and level of specialization correlate with the variation in induced plant responses. The induction of volatile and nonvolatile leaf metabolites shows different levels of specificity. Our results demonstrate how diverse responses to herbivores can contribute to the diversity of defensive plant ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 25, Issue 21, November 2023., 2023 Miniature flapping drones are attractive due to their lightweight membranous wings. Properly designing these flexible wings is essential to ensure optimal flight performance. Leveraging 3D printing technology enables the creation of high‐fidelity, insect‐inspired wings and accelerates the development of small flapping drones.

Phenology and thallus size in a non‐native population of Gracilaria vermiculophylla
Journal of Phycology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 926-938, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Phenology, or seasonal variation in life cycle events, is poorly described for many macroalgal species. We describe the phenology of a non‐native population of Gracilaria vermiculophylla whose thalli are free‐living or anchored by decorating polychaetes to tube caps.
