Dispersal of \u3ci\u3eFenusa Dohrnii\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) From an \u3ci\u3eAlnus\u3c/i\u3e Short-Rotation Forest Plantation [PDF]
, 2017 The European alder leafminer, Fenusa dohrnii, is a defoliating insect pest of Alnus in short-rotation forest plantations. A 2-year study was performed to quantify movement from infested stands to uninfested areas.

Remora‐Inspired Sensing Suction Cup with Adhesion Monitoring and Force Detection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A suction cup with integrated liquid metal microchannel sensors enables stable multidirectional force sensing and adhesion monitoring in both air and water. The flexible resistive sensors, placed on the outer lip, transduce deformations into resistance changes under normal and shear loads.

Evolution, types, and distribution of flight control devices on wings and elytra in bark beetles
Scientific ReportsGaining the ability to fly actively was a ground-breaking moment in insect evolution, providing an unprecedented advantage over other arthropods. Nevertheless, active flight was a costly innovation, requiring the development of wings and flight muscles ...

Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

INSECT FLIGHT - BIOACOUSTICAL APPROACH
Le Journal de Physique Colloques, 1990 Insect aerodynamics is drawing the attention of a number of researchers belonging to different disciplines with a view to understand its aerodynamic capabilities so as to revolutionise the aircraft technology. It is possible to understand, to some extent, the insect aerodynamics by experimentally determining the frequency of wing beat in its fethered ...

Rotational accelerations stabilize leading edge vortices on revolving fly wings [PDF]
, 2009 The aerodynamic performance of hovering insects is largely explained by the presence of a stably attached leading edge vortex (LEV) on top of their wings. Although LEVs have been visualized on real, physically modeled, and simulated insects, the physical

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Natural fliers achieve remarkable aerial performance through diverse wing neuromechanical systems integrating actuation, sensing, and control. This study synthesizes neuromechanical architectures in insects and hummingbirds, identifying two key functional types‐Dual Neural‐Mechanical Oscillator and Neurally‐modulated Mechanical Oscillator‐ and ...

The origin of the odorant receptor gene family in insects
eLife, 2018 The origin of the insect odorant receptor (OR) gene family has been hypothesized to have coincided with the evolution of terrestriality in insects. Missbach et al.

Insect flight muscle metabolism
Insect Biochemistry, 1984 The flight of an insect is of a very complicated and extremely energy-demanding nature. Wingbeat frequency may differ between various species but values up to 1000 Hz have been measured. Consequently metabolic activity may be very high during flight and the transition from rest to flight is accompanied by an increase of 50-100-fold in metabolic ...

The control of wing kinematics and flight forces in fruit flies (Drosophila spp.) [PDF]
, 1998 By simultaneously measuring flight forces and stroke kinematics in several species of fruit flies in the genus Drosophila, we have investigated the relationship between wing motion and aerodynamic force production. We induced tethered flies to vary their
