The high-frequency wing beat of higher-order insects is driven by self-sustained oscillations of constantly activated flight muscles. However, it remains unknown whether its underlying mechanism is ba
The video shows the evolution of a typical LEV through averaged vorticity contours obtained from the scanning PIV. The isosurface of the constant Q-criterion is used to reconstruct the LEV.
R scripts and data that allow raw data and metadata processing coorresponding to the BioRxiv preprint (https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.04.12.536551) "Large genetic variability of maize leaf palatability
When small flying insects go off their intended course, they use the resulting pattern of motion on their eye, or optic flow, to guide corrective steering. A change in heading generates a unique, rota
Oviposition holds crucial significance for insect reproduction. Nevertheless, the research on the neural conduction mechanism of oviposition is still rather limited in most agricultural pests. Here, w
