Scientific Reports, 2022 Larvae of holometabolic insects evolved different crawling strategies depending on the presence or absence of larval legs or life style. A rather unusual mode of locomotion has independently evolved in legless larvae of several dipteran species.

Against the wind: A load-bearing, yet durable, kite inspired by insect wings
Materials & Design, 2021 Durability and load-bearing are difficult to be combined in engineering systems. Hence, in majority of man-made structures, the two characteristics are typically mutually exclusive.

The damping and structural properties of dragonfly and damselfly wings during dynamic movement
Communications Biology, 2021 Lietz, Rajabi and colleagues investigate the physiological and structural components of damping in insect wings. Notably, flight muscles and hemolyph appear to have no direct involvement in wing damping, compared to the function of the wing hinge.

Numerical model of the spatio-temporal dynamics in a water strider group
Scientific Reports, 2021 The water strider group demonstrates a very complex dynamics consisting of competition for the food items, territoriality and aggression to the conspecific individuals, escaping from the predators, etc.

Attachment discs of the diving bell spider Argyroneta aquatica
Communications Biology, 2023 To adhere their silk threads for the construction of webs and to fix the dragline, spiders produce attachment discs of piriform silk. Uniquely, the aquatic spider Argyroneta aquatica spends its entire life cycle underwater.

Jumping mechanism in the marsh beetles (Coleoptera: Scirtidae)
Scientific Reports, 2022 The jumping mechanism with supporting morphology and kinematics is described in the marsh beetle Scirtes hemisphaericus (Coleoptera: Scirtidae). In marsh beetles, the jump is performed by the hind legs by the rapid extension of the hind tibia.

3D printed spermathecae as experimental models to understand sperm dynamics in leaf beetles
BMC Zoology, 2020 Background Postcopulatory mate choice occurs ubiquitously in the animal kingdom. However, it is usually a major challenge to visualise the process taking place in a body. This fact makes it difficult to understand the mechanisms of the process.
