Bristly wings give fairyflies the edge [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2016
![Graphic][1] Fairyflies are the tiniest insects on the planet: with body lengths averaging no more than a millimetre, the minute creatures barely get noticed. However, if you were to take a closer look, you would discover that the diminutive mini-beasts also sport extraordinary fringed ...

Bristles reduce the force required to ‘fling’ wings apart in the smallest insects [PDF]

, 2016
The smallest flying insects commonly possess wings with long bristles. Little quantitative information is available on the morphology of these bristles, and their functional importance remains a mystery. In this study, we (1) collected morphological data

A separated vortex ring underlies the flight of the dandelion [PDF]

, 2018
Wind-dispersed plants have evolved ingenious ways to lift their seeds1,2. The common dandelion uses a bundle of drag-enhancing bristles (the pappus) that helps to keep their seeds aloft.

Fluid--structure interactions of bristled wings: The trade-off between weight and drag

, 2023
The smallest flying insects often have bristled wings resembling feathers or combs. We combined experiments and three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the trade-off between wing weight and drag generation.
