Plasticity of Drosophila melanogaster wing morphology: effects of sex, temperature and density
(Kluwer Academic PublDordrechtHolanda, 1999)
Wing variation in Culex nigripalpus (Diptera: Culicidae) in urban parks
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
Culex nigripalpus has a wide geographical distribution and is found in North and South America. Females are considered ...
Fluctuating asymmetry and exposure to pyrethroid insecticides in Triatoma infestans populations in northeastern Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2019-10)
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), a phenotypic marker used as indicator of developmental stress or instability, is sometimes associated with insecticide application and resistance. Here we investigated the occurrence and amount ...
Wing morphometrics of Aedes (Ochlerotatus) albifasciatus (Macquart, 1838) (Diptera: Culicidae) from different climatic regions of Argentina
(BioMed Central, 2018-05)
Background: Gene flow restrictions between populations of Aedes albifasciatus, the vector of Western equine encephalitis and Dirophilaria immitis, have been described in the central region of Argentina. Genetic and ...
Towards bio-inspiration, development, and manufacturing of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle
(2020-09-01)
Throughout the last decade, there has been an increased demand for intricate flapping-wing drones with different capabilities than larger drones. The design of flapping-wing drones is focused on endurance and stability, ...
Wing profile evolution driven by computational fluid dynamics
(UNIV INDUSTRIAL SANTANDER, 2019-04-01)
In the domain of fluid dynamics, the problem of shape optimization is relevant because is essential to increase lift and reduce drag forces on a body immersed in a fluid. The current state of the art in this aspect consists ...
Assessment of Shape Variation Patterns in Triatoma infestans (Klug 1834) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae): A First Report in Populations from Bolivia
(MDPI, 2020)
The morphological variations of four populations of geographically isolated Triatoma infestans located in the area of inter-Andean valleys and Chaco of Chuquisaca, Bolivia, were evaluated. Fifty-three females and sixty-one ...
Wing geometry of Anopheles darlingi Root (Diptera: Culicidae) in five major Brazilian ecoregions
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAM, 2012-08)
We undertook geometric morphometric analysis of wing venation to assess this character's ability to distinguish Anopheles darlingi Root populations and to test the hypothesis that populations from coastal areas of the ...
