Biomechanic consequences of differences in wing morphology between Tadarida brasiliensis and Myotis chiloensis
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2002)
The wing morphology of bats is very diverse, and may correlate with energetic, behavioural, and ecological demands. If these demands conflict, wing shape may reflect compromise solutions. In this study, we compared the ...
Variable assessment of wing colouration in aerial contests of the red-winged damselfly Mnesarete pudica (Zygoptera, Calopterygidae)
(2015)
Wing pigmentation is a trait that predicts the outcome of male contests in some damselflies. Thus, it is reasonable to suppose that males would have the ability to assess wing pigmentation and adjust investment in a fight ...
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 ...
A comparative approach on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles kind of fixed-wing and rotative wing applied to the precision agriculture scenario
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáPato BrancoBrasilTecnologia JavaUTFPR, 2019-06-26)
To use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in precision agriculture is a very common and efficient practice, however,the vast majority of applications make use of Fixed-Wing AerialVehicles due to their autonomy that is several times ...

Extracellular activity of NBAD-synthase is responsible for colouration of brown spots in Ceratitis capitata wings
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-05)
After the emergence of the Ceratitis capitata imago, the pale and folded wings are expanded and sclerotized to acquire the definitive form and to stabilize the cuticle. The wings of this fly show a specific pattern of ...
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 ...
Variable assessment of wing colouration in aerial contests of the red-winged damselfly Mnesarete pudica (Zygoptera, Calopterygidae)
(Springer, 2015-04-01)
Wing pigmentation is a trait that predicts the outcome of male contests in some damselflies. Thus, it is reasonable to suppose that males would have the ability to assess wing pigmentation and adjust investment in a fight ...
