Wing Phenotypic Variation among Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) Populations in Thailand
Insects, 2022 Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) is a cosmopolitan hematophagous ectoparasite of veterinary and medical importance. It is an important mechanical vector of several animal pathogens and can cause significant economic losses ...

Rotational accelerations stabilize leading edge vortices on revolving fly wings [PDF]
, 2009 The aerodynamic performance of hovering insects is largely explained by the presence of a stably attached leading edge vortex (LEV) on top of their wings. Although LEVs have been visualized on real, physically modeled, and simulated insects, the physical

Dynamics of House Fly and Stable Fly Populations
The Florida Entomologist, 1972 The relative densities of populations of the house fly, Musca domestica L., and the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans L., were studied in north central Florida for 1 year to investigate fluctuations in density and rates of population growth. The density of both species changed gradually, increasing during the spring, stabilizing during summer and early ...

Stable hovering of a jellyfish-like flying machine [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2014 Abstract Ornithopters, or flapping-wing aircraft, offer an alternative to helicopters in achieving manoeuvrability at small scales, although stabilizing such aerial vehicles remains a key challenge. Here, we present a hovering machine that achieves self-righting flight using flapping wings alone, without relying on additional ...

Supplementing Blood Diet With Plant Nectar Enhances Egg Fertility in Stomoxys calcitrans
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Stomoxys calcitrans (stable fly) is a cosmopolitan biting fly of both medical and veterinary importance. Unlike blood-feeding-related behavior of stable fly, its plant feeding, the fitness value, and the S.

The effects of fly-bys on planetary systems [PDF]
, 2010 Most of the observed extrasolar planets are found on tight and often eccentric orbits. The high eccentricities are not easily explained by planet-formation models, which predict that planets should be on rather circular orbits.

Feeding and breeding aspects of Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) under laboratory conditions
Parasite, 2012 Bionomic aspects of Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) were studied under laboratory conditions. For this reason, laboratory-rearing techniques were optimized at the National Veterinary School of Toulouse.

Wing and body motion during flight initiation in Drosophila revealed by automated visual tracking [PDF]
, 2009 The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a widely used model organism in studies of genetics, developmental biology and biomechanics. One limitation for exploiting Drosophila as a model system for behavioral neurobiology is that measuring body kinematics
