Inland waters cover less than 1% of Earth's surface but harbor more than 6% of all insect
species: Nearly 100,000 species from 12 orders spend one or more life stages in freshwater …

Butterflies display extreme variation in wing shape associated with tremendous ecological
diversity. Disentangling the role of neutral versus adaptive processes in wing shape …

Migration, broadly defined as directional movement to take advantage of spatially distributed
resources, is a dramatic behaviour and an important component of many life histories that …

Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and
figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and …

This work is a synthesis of our current understanding of the mechanics, aerodynamics and
visually mediated control of dragonfly and damselfly flight, with the addition of new …

Flight is a key innovation in the evolution of insects that is crucial to their dispersal,
migration, territoriality, courtship and predator avoidance. Male butterflies have characteristic …

Aim We compared the effects of recent shifts of northern range boundaries of odonates
adapted to either lentic (standing water) or lotic (running water) habitats in E urope. Lentic …

Long‐distance insect migration is poorly understood despite its tremendous ecological and
economic importance. As a group, Nearctic hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae: Syrphinae) …

Insect wings possess unique, multifaceted properties that have drawn increasing attention in
recent times. They serve as an inspiration for engineering of materials with exquisite …

Light represents one of the most reliable environmental cues in the biological world. In this
review we focus on the evolutionary consequences to changes in organismal photic …
