Novel Temporal Expression Patterns of EBF-Binding Proteins in Wing Morphs of The Grain Aphid Sitobion miscanthi [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 High chemosensitivity of insects to volatile organic compounds (VOC) stimuli is mediated by odorant binding proteins (OBPs). In aphids, three OBPs (OBP3, OBP7 and OBP9) are E-β-farnesene (EBF)-binding proteins.

Cuticular Pegs near Wing Bases in Aphids of the Subfamily Eriosomatinae Kirkaldy, 1905 s. str. (Insecta, Aphididae) [PDF]
InsectsAphids have two general types of morphs: alate and apterous. While apterous morphs exploit existing local resources, the alate morphs disperse in search of proper host plant species for settlement and reproduction.

Wings as Part of the Sensory System in the Aphid Subfamily Eriosomatinae s. lat. (Insecta, Hemiptera) [PDF]
InsectsWings are a crucial evolutionary trait of insects and constitute an important part of their sensory system. Phloem-feeding aphids specialising in particular host plant species require an efficient sensory system and locomotive abilities to find an ...

Wing Plasticity Is Associated with Growth and Energy Metabolism in Two Color Morphs of the Pea Aphid [PDF]
InsectsThe pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is a major pest of legume crops, exhibiting distinct polymorphism in terms of wings and body color. We found that, under crowded conditions, the red morph A.

Comprehensive full-Length transcriptomic resource for wing dimorphism in English green aphid, Sitobion avenae [PDF]
Scientific DataThe English green aphid, Sitobion avenae, a major pest of wheat, exhibits classical wing dimorphism. To support research and data sharing on the molecular basis of this trait, we generated full-length transcriptomes from three different developmental ...

Raptor wing morphing with flight speed [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2021 In gliding flight, birds morph their wings and tails to control their flight trajectory and speed. Using high-resolution videogrammetry, we reconstructed accurate and detailed three-dimensional geometries of gliding flights for three raptors (barn owl,Tyto alba; tawny owl,Strix aluco, and goshawk,Accipiter gentilis).

Two species? – Limits of the species concepts in the pygmy grasshoppers of the Tetrix bipunctata complex (Orthoptera, Tetrigidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 Today, integrative taxonomy is often considered the gold standard when it comes to species recognition and delimitation. Using the Tetrix bipunctata complex, we here present a case where even integrative taxonomy may reach its limits.

Autonomous material composite morphing wing
Journal of Composite Materials, 2023 Aeronautics research has continually sought to achieve the adaptability and morphing performance of avian wings, but in practice, wings of all scales continue to use the same hinged control-surface embodiment. Recent research into compliant and bio-inspired mechanisms for morphing wings and control surfaces has indicated promising results, though ...
