Solving the thoracic inverse problem in the fruit fly [PDF]
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 18(4), 2023, 2022 In many insect species, the thoracic structure plays a crucial role in enabling flight. In the dipteran indirect flight mechanism, the thorax acts as a transmission link between the flight muscles and the wings, and it is often thought to act as an elastic modulator: improving flight motor efficiency thorough linear or nonlinear resonance.

Fruit flies are multistable geniuses
PLOS Biology, 2018 Our sensory systems have evolved to provide us with information about the external world. Such information is useful only insofar as it leads to actions that enhance fitness, and thus, the link between sensation and action has been thoroughly studied in many species. In insects, for example, specific visual stimuli lead to highly stereotyped responses.
