Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Natural fliers achieve remarkable aerial performance through diverse wing neuromechanical systems integrating actuation, sensing, and control. This study synthesizes neuromechanical architectures in insects and hummingbirds, identifying two key functional types‐Dual Neural‐Mechanical Oscillator and Neurally‐modulated Mechanical Oscillator‐ and ...

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Combined foaming and structuring of polymer samples by processing with supercritical CO2 leads to nano‐ and microstructured surfaces on top of perfectly white polymer sheets. ABSTRACT Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) is a widely applied solvent utilized in many physical–chemical processes, including the foaming or structuring of polymers.

Advances and Challenges of Using the Sterile Insect Technique for the Management of Pest Lepidoptera
Insects, 2019 Over the past 30 years, the sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a regular component of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programs against several major agricultural pests and vectors of severe diseases.

Delineating Species with DNA Barcodes: A Case of Taxon Dependent Method Performance in Moths
PLoS ONE, 2015 The accelerating loss of biodiversity has created a need for more effective ways to discover species. Novel algorithmic approaches for analyzing sequence data combined with rapidly expanding DNA barcode libraries provide a potential solution.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Mental health problems are common among UK undergraduate students. In response, many universities have put considerable effort into raising awareness about student mental health problems and avenues of support (e.g., via workshops, posters, email newsletters and social media posts).

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Journal of Insect Science, 2002 We present evidence for two behaviors influenced by intact, vegetative plant odor -- upwind flight and abdomen curling -- in female Manduca sexta and demonstrate the influence of the age and mating status of the moths on these behaviors.

Growing degree‐days do not explain moth species' distributions at broad scales
EcosphereGrowing degree‐days (GDD), an estimate of an organism's growing season length, has been shown to be an important predictor of Lepidopteran species' distributions and could be influencing Lepidopteran range shifts to climate change.
