Researchers have developed a model that can recreate, with only a few parameters, the wing patterns of a large group of insects, shedding light on how these complex patterns form. For many species of ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The way that an earwig insect folds its wings could be applied to how engineers preprogram technology to perform certain tasks, according to research published on March 23 in ...

The vast majority of living insects either have wings or evolved from flying ancestors, said Linz, an evolutionary biologist now at Indiana University. “When the average person thinks about an insect ...
An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough lift to fly. The study, published today in eLife as the final Version of ...
