Accelerated and synchronized oviposition induced by flight of young females may intensify larval outbreaks of the rice leaf roller. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Physiological management of migration-reproduction trade-offs in energy allocation often includes a package of adaptions referred to as the oogenesis-flight syndrome.

Model-Based Tracking of Fruit Flies in Free Flight
Insects, 2022 Insect flight is a complex interdisciplinary phenomenon. Understanding its multiple aspects, such as flight control, sensory integration, physiology and genetics, often requires the analysis of large amounts of free flight kinematic data. Yet, one of the

Vortex trapping recaptures energy in flying fruit flies
Scientific Reports, 2021 Flapping flight is one of the most costly forms of locomotion in animals. To limit energetic expenditures, flying insects thus developed multiple strategies.

Three-dimensional vortex structure in a wake of a free-flight butterfly
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016 A number of studies on not only the mechanism of insect flight but also the flow field around insect wings have been performed. Especially, a number of recent studies have examined the flow field around insect wings using experimental and numerical ...

The bat–bird–bug battle: daily flight activity of insects and their predators over a rice field revealed by high-resolution Scheimpflug Lidar [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 We present the results of, to our knowledge, the first Lidar study applied to continuous and simultaneous monitoring of aerial insects, bats and birds. It illustrates how common patterns of flight activity, e.g. insect swarming around twilight, depend on

Wing flexibility reduces the energetic requirements of insect flight
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2019 Flapping insect wings deform under aerodynamic as well as inertial-elastic forces. This deformation is thought to improve power economy and reduce the energetic costs of flight.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Understanding the traits related to species colonization and invasion, is a key question for both pest management and evolution. One of the key components is flight, which has been measured for a number of insect species through radar and tethered flight

Colors of attraction: Modeling insect flight to light behavior.
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2018 Light sources attract nocturnal flying insects, but some lamps attract more insects than others. The relation between the properties of a light source and the number of attracted insects is, however, poorly understood.
