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

Insect ventral radar cross-section polarisation dependence measurements for radar entomology [PDF]
, 2006 Radar entomology has developed such that routine long-term monitoring of insect flight through the atmospheric boundary layer is now practical. Typical entomological radars use X-band (9.4 GHz) marine transceivers with a vertical pencil beam and rotate ...

Influence of wing kinematics on aerodynamic performance in hovering insect flight
, 2007 The influence of different wing kinematic models on the aerodynamic performance of a hovering insect is investigated by means of two-dimensional time-dependent Navier–Stokes simulations.

Acoustic communication in insect disease vectors [PDF]
, 2013 Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation.

Insect learning flights and walks [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Knowledge of where things are in one's habitual surroundings cannot be encoded genetically and must be acquired in those surroundings. Many ants, bees and wasps forage from a home base and before doing so learn where resources are to be found and how to return with them to their nest.

Automated flight-interception traps for interval sampling of insects.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Recent debates on insect decline require sound assessments on the relative drivers that may negatively impact insect populations. Often, baseline data rely on insect monitorings that integrate catches over long time periods.

Cytochrome c Oxidase at Full Thrust: Regulation and Biological Consequences to Flying Insects
Cells, 2021 Flight dispersal represents a key aspect of the evolutionary and ecological success of insects, allowing escape from predators, mating, and colonization of new niches.

Structural Analysis of a Dragonfly Wing
, 2010 Dragonfly wings are highly corrugated, which increases the stiffness and strength of the wing significantly, and results in a lightweight structure with good aerodynamic performance.
