Neuromuscular control of aerodynamic forces and moments in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina [PDF]
, 2004 Flies are among the most agile of flying insects, a capacity that ultimately results from their nervous system's control over steering muscles and aerodynamic forces during flight.

Neuromechanism study of insect-machine interface: flight control by neural electrical stimulation.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The insect-machine interface (IMI) is a novel approach developed for man-made air vehicles, which directly controls insect flight by either neuromuscular or neural stimulation.

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2018 Insect migratory flight differs fundamentally from most other kinds of flight behavior, in that it is non-appetitive. The adult is not searching for anything, and migratory flight is not terminated by encounters with potential resources.

Effects of Flight on Gene Expression and Aging in the Honey Bee Brain and Flight Muscle [PDF]
, 2012 Honey bees move through a series of in-hive tasks (e.g., “nursing”) to outside tasks (e.g., “foraging”) that are coincident with physiological changes and higher levels of metabolic activity.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

, 2023 Approximately half of the existing winged-insect species are of very small size (wing length about 0.3-4 mm); they are referred to as miniature insects. Yet until recently, much of what we know about the mechanics of insect flight was derived from studies on relatively large insects, such as hoverflies, honey bees and hawkmoths.

Unsteady Aerodynamic Performance of Model Wings at Low Reynolds Numbers [PDF]
, 1993 The synthesis of a comprehensive theory of force production in insect flight is hindered in part by the lack of precise knowledge of unsteady forces produced by wings.
