The Malaise Trap: Its Utility and Potential for Sampling Insect Populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Slightly over three decades have elapsed since Malaise (1937) first published plans for the insect trap now bearing his name a stationary mesh tent with open sides, a central baffle, and a top-mounted collecting apparatus (Fig. 1).

Yellow Mealworm Larvae Derived Eco‐Friendly Substrates for Responsible Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Electronic substrates composed of bioderived eco‐friendly materials constitute a unique opportunity for the development of the next generation of responsible electronics. In this work, the use of Yellow Mealworm Larvae is explored for the realization of rigid and flexible electronic substrates which can be favorable alternatives for existing substrates

Insect evolution [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2015
It goes without saying that insects epitomize diversity, and with over a million documented species they stand out as one of the most remarkable lineages in the 3.5-billion-year history of life on earth (Figure 1). This reality is passé to even the layperson and is taken for granted in the same way none of us think much of our breathing as we go about ...

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Regeneration in insects

open access: yesSeminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 1999
@9cIntroduction@21T issues exhibit an impressive ability to respond to a myriad of insults by repairing and regenerating complex structures. The elegant and orderly process of regeneration provides clues to the mechanisms of pattern formation but also offers the hope that the process might one day be manipulated to replace damaged body parts.
