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

open access: yesAdvanced 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

Phylogeny and reclassification of Lampranthus (Ruschieae, Aizoaceae) in southern Africa

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 818-853, June 2024.
Abstract Lampranthus consists of 85 species of succulent perennials which are all endemic to southern Africa. Most of its species are restricted to fynbos and regenerate in large numbers after fires. We use nine chloroplast markers to generate a phylogeny with a dense sampling of Lampranthus and some taxa which may be closely related to it.
