DOI: 10.1016/j.jinsphys.2016.10.003

Abstract: The theoretical underpinnings for flight, including animal flight with flapping wings, predict a curvilinear U-shaped or J-shaped relationship between flight speed and the power required to maintain that speed. Experimental data have confirmed this relationship… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2021.0320

Abstract: Nocturnal insects like moths are essential for pollination, providing resilience to the diurnal pollination networks. Moths use both vision and mechanosensation to locate the nectary opening in the flowers with their proboscis. However, increased light… read more here.
