Some Coleoptera (popularly referred to as beetles) can fly at a low Reynolds number with
their deployable hind wings, which directly enables a low body weight–a good bioinspiration …

Gaining the ability to fly actively was a ground-breaking moment in insect evolution,
providing an unprecedented advantage over other arthropods. Nevertheless, active flight …

Macroalgae are ecologically important organisms that often inhabit locations with physically
challenging water motion. The biomechanical traits that permit their survival in these …

Miniature flapping drones can potentially operate in small spaces, using lightweight
membranous wings. Designing these flexible wings appropriately is crucial for effective flight …

Insect wing shapes and the internal wing-vein arrangement are remarkably diverse.
Although the wings lack intrinsic musculature to adjust shape actively, they elastically …

Socioeconomic demand for natural capital is causing catastrophic losses of biodiversity and
ecosystem functionality, most notably in regions where socioeconomic‐and eco‐systems …

Simple Summary We used the geometric morphometrics method to explore whether the
exposure of the parental females to pirimiphos-methyl at short exposure times may impact …

The deployable hind wings of Coleoptera are a highly specialized motive system that can
fold and unfold in a unique way. Resilin in the wing membrane of Asian ladybird beetle …

The deployable hindwings of certain coleopterans are their major flying components, and
the veins supporting their hindwings play a significant role during flight; this knowledge is …

Insects flap their wings through a highly specialized musculoskeletal system that allows the
wings to rotate about three degrees of freedom. Consequently, the wingtip trajectory is …
