Odonata (Insecta) in high-altitude fields and associated ecosystems in the Poços de Caldas Plateau, Brazil

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología, 2023
The High Altitude Fields (HAF) are unique phytosociological features that occur only in certain regions of the Atlantic Forest. It is composed of herbaceous and shrubby vegetation and shallow soils that promote local water infiltration and recharge ...

Effects of deformation and vibration characteristics of wings on flapping flight

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2015
The dragonfly wing is passively deformed under flapping and has the strength to withstand high flapping frequency simultaneously. These characteristics of deformation and vibration of the wing are important for flapping flight.
