DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2017.09.006
Abstract: While it is clear that the insect tracheal system can respond in a compensatory manner to both hypoxia and hyperoxia, there is substantial variation in how different parts of the system respond. However, the response… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010377
Abstract: Four insect orders have flight muscles that are both asynchronous and indirect; they are asynchronous in that the wingbeat frequency is decoupled from the frequency of nervous stimulation and indirect in that the muscles attach… read more here.
