Insect Migration, Flight Periodicity and the Boundary Layer
The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1974 In an earlier attempt to find a reference framework to classify the kinds of migratory flight adopted by different kinds of insects, I used the term 'boundary layer' to describe a hypothetical layer of air near the ground within which it was supposed that insects were able to control their movements relative to the ground because their flight speed ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Migrating hoverflies as potential food source for co-migrating insectivorous birds
Royal Society Open ScienceMost migrating birds must replenish energy reserves during migration. Food availability significantly influences migratory routes and can even force migrants to detour, but still little is known about potential co-migration between insectivorous birds ...
