Researchers report a developmental model for reconstructing the complex and elaborate vein patterns seen in insect wings. The study of vein formation in insect wings has previously focused on primary ...
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 ...
The structure of an insect's wing depends on the type of insect, but basically it consists of a thin film of chitin and a thick pulse called "wing vein" that supports it. Wings of small insects such ...
The dainty veins gracing the wings of dragonflies and other insects are like fingerprints: Each wing displays a distinct pattern. A randomized mathematical process may help explain how certain thin ...
Anew developmental model recreates the vein patterns of insect wings, reported in PNAS on September 17. While previous studies have focused on analyzing primary veins that are largely shared across a ...
We tested the hypothesis that adults of flightless long-winged (macropterous) and short-winged (brachypterous) morphs of Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) (Heteroptera) differ in their walking path ...

The Insect That Sounds Like a Songbird
Meet a katydid that sounds like a bird and is as big as one too! It's even able to modulate its call to avoid attracting bats ...
The colour of prehistoric animals is almost impossible to determine, because fossilisation does not preserve it. But under exceptional circumstances, colour patterns survive. In the Crato Formation in ...
Harvard researchers have developed a computational model that can mimic, with only a few, simple parameters, the complex wing patterns of a large group of distantly-related insects, shedding light on ...
