In Vivo Time- Resolved Microtomography Reveals the Mechanics of the Blowfly Flight Motor [PDF]
, 2014 Dipteran flies are amongst the smallest and most agile of flying animals. Their wings are driven indirectly by large power muscles, which cause cyclical deformations of the thorax that are amplified through the intricate wing hinge.

Chemiluminescent Tags for Tracking Insect Movement in Darkness: Application to Moth Photo-Orientation [PDF]
, 2017 The flight tracks of Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) flying toward a 5 watt incandescent light bulb were recorded under low light conditions with the aid of a camera-mounted photomultiplier and a glowing marker technique.

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

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.

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.

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.

More oxygen during development enhanced flight performance but not thermal tolerance of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2017 High temperatures can stress animals by raising the oxygen demand above the oxygen supply. Consequently, animals under hypoxia could be more sensitive to heating than those exposed to normoxia.

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.
