The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, can develop into either short-winged (SW) or long-winged (LW) adults according to environmental conditions, and has long served as a model organism for exploring the mechanisms of wing polyphenism in ...

A review of modelling and analysis of morphing wings [PDF]
Morphing wings have a large potential to improve the overall aircraft performances, in a way like natural flyers do. By adapting or optimising dynamically the shape to various flight conditions, there are yet many unexplored opportunities beyond current proof-of-concept demonstrations.

Molecular and behavioral studies reveal differences in olfaction between winter and summer morphs of Drosophila suzukii [PDF]
Spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a major economic pest of several fruit crops in Europe, North and South America, and other parts of the world because it oviposits in ripening thin-skinned fruits.

Background Aphis gossypii is a worldwide sap-sucking pest with a variety of hosts and a vector of more than 50 plant viruses. The strategy of wing polyphenism, mostly resulting from population density increasing, contributes to the evolutionary success ...

Morphometric Measurements of Field and Laboratory-Reared Spotted-Wing Drosophila (2017-2018) [PDF]
The data set contains wing length, wing width, and hind tibia length of laboratory-reared known summer and winter morphs of Drosophila suzukii. Summer morphs were reared on artificial diet at 16:8 (light:dark) and at 25°C.

Morphometric criteria to differentiate Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) seasonal morphs - Fig 2 [PDF]
Laboratory-reared mean wing and hind tibia lengths (mm) for known female (A) and male (B) winter and summer morphs of D. suzukii. The linear regression equation is based on summer morphs, which was used for the ratio transformation.

Table_1_Novel Temporal Expression Patterns of EBF-Binding Proteins in Wing Morphs of The Grain Aphid Sitobion miscanthi.DOCX [PDF]
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.

Density‐dependent sex‐biased development of macroptery in a water strider
In wing‐polymorphic insects, wing morphs differ not only in dispersal capability but also in life history traits because of trade‐offs between flight capability and reproduction. When the fitness benefits and costs of producing wings differ between males
