Local motion adaptation enhances the representation of spatial structure at EMD arrays. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2017 Neuronal representation and extraction of spatial information are essential for behavioral control. For flying insects, a plausible way to gain spatial information is to exploit distance-dependent optic flow that is generated during translational self ...

Insect Flight: From Newton's Law to Neurons
, 2016 Why do animals move the way they do? Bacteria, insects, birds, and fish share with us the necessity to move so as to live. Although each organism follows its own evolutionary course, it also obeys a set of common laws.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

THE MITOCHONDRIA OF INSECT FLIGHT MUSCLE [PDF]
Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 1953 It has been known for over a century that the ifight muscles of insects belonging to the two orders Diptera (the true ffies), and Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps) are specialized in certain aspects of their morphology to a degree not found in other groups of insects.
