An Inverse Method for the Design of Structures
(Asociacion Argentina de Mecanica Computacional, 2008-11)
Inverse methods are powerful design tools that allow engineers to obtain efficient designs at much lower costs than the ones normally involved in experimental and direct computational design. Here we present an inverse ...
Altitudinal population structure and microevolution of the malaria vector Anopheles cruzii (Diptera: Culicidae)
(BioMed Central, 2014-12-16)
Abstract
Background
In Brazil, the autochthonous transmission of extra-Amazonian malaria occurs mainly in areas of the southeastern coastal Atlantic Forest, where Anopheles ...
Ontogeny of an interactive call-and-response system in Spix's disc-winged bats
(2020)
We investigated the ontogenetic changes of two call types, the inquiry call and the response call, which comprise an interactive communication system in Spix's disc-winged bats, Thyroptera tricolor. We documented structural ...
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 ...
Fenômeno de wing rock em placas de compósitos com acoplamento flexão-torção
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBrasilUFRNPROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ENGENHARIA MECÂNICA, 2021-07-20)
Wing rock is an undesirable oscillatory phenomenon that can occur in
airfoils with an increase in the angle of attack due to effects such as asymmetric
vortex breakdown. This work aims to study the frequency and amplitude ...
Cores estruturais da asa da libélula: Chalcopterix rutilans
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2016-08-10)
In dragonflies, color has many functions, the most important ones being sex recognition, courtship and territory defense behaviors. In Chalcopteryx rutilans - a dragonfly found in the Amazonian rain forest those functions ...
Microgeographic spatial structuring of Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) populations using wing geometric morphometry in the Argentine Chaco
(Entomological Society of America, 2012-05)
We investigated the occurrence of spatial structuring in Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) populations 12 yr after the last community-wide insecticide spraying campaign in rural Pampa del Indio, in the Gran ...
The Role of Wing Pigmentation, UV and Fluorescence as Signals in a Neotropical Damselfly
(2013-08-07)
Pigmentation patterns, ultraviolet reflection and fluorescent emission are often involved in mate recognition and mate quality functions in many animal taxa. We investigated the role of wing ultra-violet reflection, ...
