As an insect’s wing moves up and down during flight, it also twists about the vertical axis so that its tip follows an ellipse or a figure eight. This sculling motion maximizes lift on the downstroke and minimizes drag on the upstroke.

We aim to understand the diversity of locomotor patterns across terrestrial insects, and how insects are able to deal with environmental challenges and disturbances. Why do insects walk the way they do? Insect locomotion is...

Knowledge of insect movement, particularly of flight, is crucial to our understanding of the great ecological and evolutionary success of insects. The last 20 years have seen many advances in this subject area.

Insect migration is the seasonal movement of insects, particularly those by species of dragonflies, beetles, butterflies and moths. The distance can vary with species and in most cases, these movements involve large numbers of individuals.

2001年5月22日 · Also discussed are the mechanisms of movement (e.g. flight biomechanics, physiology and behaviour), including some of its consequences for population structure and gene flow, and for geographical changes in species' ranges.

2020年2月7日 · Locomotion is an essential component of the insect lifestyle. It helps insect to commute from one place to another. Insects residing in different regions and habitats across the world exhibit different forms of locomotion. These forms include walking, running, crawling jumping, swimming, and flight.

2018年7月1日 · Human movement on two legs is pretty simple: left-right-left-right, but all insects have 6 legs attached to a thorax. In this activity, I ask students to observe an insect closely, usually a dubia roach in a beaker, but you could use any insect.

2020年5月31日 · This Special Issue will cover the study of both inter-patch movement and long-distance dispersal as well as the effects of biotic and abiotic factors influencing insect movement, the physiology of flight, foraging strategies, and the use of visual and chemical cues during flight and host selection.

2024年3月26日 · I decided to expand this visual universe of natural movement to the kingdom of insects. Initially I did some tests in a similar way to what I did with the birds, but it didn’t work. I realized that I had to change the scale and get much closer to the subjects to appreciate their beauty, but that posed technical problems that I couldn’t solve.
