Sex- and tissue-specific expression of chemosensory receptor genes in a hawkmoth
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 For the nocturnal hawkmoth Manduca sexta, olfactory and gustatory cues are essential for finding partners, food, and oviposition sites. Three chemosensory receptor families, odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), and gustatory receptors ...

Colour constancy in diurnal and nocturnal hawkmoths [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2004 SUMMARY Diurnal and nocturnal hawkmoths have been shown to use colour vision for flower discrimination. Here, we present evidence that the nocturnal hawkmoth Deilephila elpenor and the diurnal hawkmoth Macroglossum stellatarum also have colour constancy. Colour constancy was shown in D.

Schlieren photography on freely flying hawkmoth [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2018 The aerodynamic force on flying insects results from the vortical flow structures that vary both spatially and temporally throughout flight. Due to these complexities and the inherent difficulties in studying flying insects in a natural setting, a complete picture of the vortical flow has been difficult to obtain experimentally.

Body flexion effect on the flight dynamics of a hovering hawkmoth
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2014 The position and attitude controls of flapping wing flyers are challenging because of their inherent instabilities. Insects can cope with such difficulties by finely and quickly tuning their wing kinematics.
