A computational study of the aerodynamic performance of a dragonfly forewing in gliding flight

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Gliding flight is a common mode of flight for dragonfly, the objective of the current research is to use numerical simulations to explore whether the corrugations have positive effect on aerodynamic performance of the dragonfly wings in gliding flight ...

Odonate species occupancy frequency distribution and abundance–occupancy relationship patterns in temporal and permanent water bodies in a subtropical area

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
This paper investigates species richness and species occupancy frequency distributions (SOFD) as well as patterns of abundance–occupancy relationship (SAOR) in Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) in a subtropical area.

Seasonal Migrations of Pantala flavescens (Odonata: Libellulidae) in Middle Asia and Understanding of the Migration Model in the Afro-Asian Region Using Stable Isotopes of Hydrogen

Insects, 2020
In Middle Asia, the dragonfly Pantala flavescens makes regular seasonal migrations. In spring, sexually mature dragonflies (immigrants) arrive in this region for reproduction.

Patient‐Reported Outcomes with Selpercatinib Among Patients with RET Fusion–Positive Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer in the Phase I/II LIBRETTO‐001 Trial

The Oncologist, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background LIBRETTO‐001 is an ongoing, global, open‐label, phase I/II study of selpercatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. We report interim patient‐reported outcomes in patients with RET fusion–positive non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Agonistic anti-NKG2D antibody structure reveals unique stoichiometry and epitope compared to natural ligands

mAbs
Natural killer (NK) cells are effector cells of the innate immune system that distinguish between healthy and abnormal cells through activating and inhibitory receptor signaling.

Patient‐Reported Outcomes with Selpercatinib Treatment Among Patients with RET‐Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer in the Phase I/II LIBRETTO‐001 Trial

The Oncologist, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) standard of care includes multikinase inhibitors (MKIs), which can exacerbate disease‐related diarrhea, primarily because of non‐RET kinase inhibition. We report diarrhea and other patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) with selpercatinib, a highly selective RET inhibitor, among patients with RET‐mutant MTC ...

Aerodynamic Effects of Corrugation on Dragonfly Hindwing

Hangkong gongcheng jinzhan, 2019
To study aerodynamic performance of the dragonfly wing at gliding flight at different Reynolds numbers, a three-dimensional model of the dragonfly hindwing with corrugation and a three-dimensional flat plate with the same shape of the dragonfly hindwing ...

Impact of a small artificial water source on the diversity of odonates (Insecta : Odonata) in an urban landscape [PDF]

Arthropods, 2021
Rapid urbanisation is mainly responsible for the degradation and fragmentation of natural ecosystems in urban areas. Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) constitute an important part of urban biodiversity.

Expanding the Cultural Reach of Zoos

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens
It is surprising that, despite focusing on delivering engaging and informative content to zoo and aquarium visitors nationwide, relatively few zoos or aquariums incorporate culture or the extensive species and place-based knowledge of local communities ...

DNA Barcoding and New Records of Odonates (Insecta: Odonata) from Paraíba State, Brazil

Diversity, 2022
Odonates (Insecta: Odonata) are important insects in the food chains of freshwater environments around the world, being used as a model species for areas of behavior and analysis of environmental quality. In Brazil, especially in the Northeastern region,
