Ontogenetic and Interspecific Metabolic Scaling in Insects
The American Naturalist, 2014Design constraints imposed by increasing size cause metabolic rate in animals to increase more slowly than mass. This ubiquitous biological phenomenon is referred to as metabolic scaling. However, mechanistic explanations for interspecific metabolic scaling do not apply to ontogenetic size changes within a species, implying different mechanisms for ...

ALTHOUGH SCALE insects in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions are commonly parasitized by higher fungi, chytrid diseases or chvtridiosis of such insects appear to be comparatively rare. So far very few cases bave been reported in the literature.

Agile and Resilient Insect-Scale Robot
Soft Robotics, 2019Abstract A key challenge in bioinspired insect-scale running robots is to make them both agile and resilient. In this study, we develop a dielectric elastomer actuated soft robot that mimics inchworms. We use an elastomer to make the soft body, a stretchable dielectric to provide electrostatic actuation of high power density, and ...

Large-scale insect cell culture
Current Biology, 1992Significant advances have been made over the past year in our understanding of the protective mechanisms, both fluid-mechanical and biological, of media additives on suspended animal cells. The degree of protection offered by different additives, such as pluronic polyol, appears to be cell-type dependent, varying quite dramatically not only between ...

Production scale insect cell culture
Biotechnology Advances, 1991Insect cells in culture are currently commanding great interest as superior hosts for the efficient production of biologicals with applications in health care and in agriculture. Insect cell culture is ripe for scale-up technologies, in order to meet future projected production requirements of (a) insect viruses used as bioinsecticides and (b ...

Large-Scale Propagation of Insect Cells
2018Cultured insect cells have many uses in agriculture and medicine. They can be used in the diagnosis and isolation of a number of viruses infecting both animals and plants and for the laboratory study of these viruses. Large-volume culture of insect cells has been envisioned as a way of producing viruses for use in controlling insect pests and for the ...

Interrelationships of Two Scale Insects on Citrus
Ecology, 1967The interrelationships of 2 diaspidid scale insects of the geunus Parlatoria, infesting citrus, were investigated during several years in the field. It was found that P. pergandii Comstock was more numerous in the summer, P. cinerea Hadden in the winter.

Large-Scale Navigation: The Insect Case
1999Despite their miniature, 0.1-mg brains Cataglyphis ants of the Sahara desert are particularly impressive navigators. They leave their subterranean burrows for distances of several hundred metres by winding their way in a tortuous search for food, and then return in an amazingly straight line to the starting point of their foraging trip.
