Animals are much better at running than robots. The difference in performance arises in the
important dimensions of agility, range, and robustness. To understand the underlying …

As the study of the human brain is complicated by its sheer scale, complexity, and
impracticality of invasive experiments, neuroscience research has long relied on model …

Modern morphological and structural studies are coming to a new level by incorporating the
latest methods of three-dimensional electron microscopy (3D-EM). One of the key problems …

Holometabolan brains undergo structural and allometric changes and complex
reorganizations during metamorphosis. In minute egg parasitoids, brain formation is shifted …

Vision is one of the most important senses for humans and animals alike. Diverse elegant
specializations have evolved among insects and other arthropods in response to specific …

Insect antennae are astonishingly versatile and have multiple sensory modalities. Audition,
detection of airflow, and graviception are combined in the antennal chordotonal organs. The …

Vision is crucial for animals to find prey, locate conspecifics and navigate within cluttered
landscapes. Animals need to discriminate objects against a visually noisy background …

Simple Summary Arge similis is a notorious pest on rhododendron plants. The fine structure
of the compound eyes of A. similis adults were examined by light, scanning, and …

Miniaturization strongly affects functional morphology. Whereas some anatomical structures
are barely affected by scaling, others can fundamentally change as the body becomes ever …

The second part of our review systematizes the published evidence of scaling of the insect
antennal sensory system and provides an allometric analysis of quantitative data for 483 …
