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 ...
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 ...

(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2019-12-05)
Este estudo fornece uma visão geral do conhecimento atual sobre as asas e sobre algumas características morfológicas da casta alada de formigas do mundo todo. No estudo das asas anteriores e posteriores (Capitulos 1 e 2), ...
Phenotypic plasticity in Drosophila cactophilic species: the effect of competition, density, and breeding sites
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-08)
Changes in the environmental conditions experienced by naturally occurring populations are frequently accompanied by changes in adaptive traits allowing the organism to cope with environmental unpredictability. Phenotypic ...
A dynamic cell recruitment process drives growth of the Drosophila wing by overscaling the vestigial expression pattern
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-06-15)
Organs mainly attain their size by cell growth and proliferation, but sometimes also grow through recruitment of undifferentiated cells. Here we investigate the participation of cell recruitment in establishing the pattern ...
Spatial Variation in Body Size and Wing Dimorphism Correlates with Environmental Conditions in the Grasshopper Dichroplus vittatus (Orthoptera: Acrididae)
(Oxford University Press, 2018-06)
Wing dimorphism occurs widely in insects and involves discontinuous variation in a wide variety of traits involved in fight and reproduction. In the current study, we analyzed the spatial pattern of wing dimorphism and ...
Wing shape differentiation of Mepraia species (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Elsevier, 2011)
Mepraia is an endemic genus found in the semiarid and arid regions of north-central Chile. Until 1998,
Mepraia spinolai was the only species of the genus, distributed in coastal and interior valleys from Chile
between ...

(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2013)
Occurrence of Winged Forms of Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Laboratory Colonies
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2002-07-01)
Foi observada, pela primeira vez no Brasil, a produção de centenas de formas aladas em formigueiros de Atta sexdens rubropilosa Forel, mantidos em laboratório. Larvas de último instar de machos foram encontradas em 5 de ...
