Plant health monitoring is crucial in ensuring a constant food supply to satisfy the growing demand for food. Hence, it is essential to monitor plant health to maximize the yield and minimize the risk of various diseases. Soil moisture and temperatur...
Birds, bats and many insects can tuck their wings against their bodies when at rest and deploy them to power flight. Whereas birds and bats use well-developed pectoral and wing muscles, how insects control their wing deployment and retraction remains...
Breast cancer classification plays a crucial role in healthcare, especially in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients. Traditional methods for classifying breast cancer based on histopathological images often suffer from limited accuracy, which can...
The aim of our work is to determine the importance of habitat features for the selection of the aquatic beetle community. Insects are represented by their general ecological traits such as body size, ecological element and trophic type, which are cat...
Fuzzy logic presents a promising approach for Species Distribution Modelling by generating a value that can be used for comparative purposes termed 'environmental favourability'. In contrast to 'presence probability', 'environmental favourability' re...
To navigate complex terrains, insects use diverse tarsal structures (adhesive pads, claws, spines) to reliably attach to and locomote across substrates. This includes surfaces of variable roughness and inclination, which often require reliable transi...
Dung beetles impressively coordinate their 6 legs to effectively roll large dung balls. They can also roll dung balls varying in the weight on different terrains. The mechanisms underlying how their motor commands are adapted to walk and simultaneous...
In recent years, exoskeleton robots have attracted great interest from researchers in the area of robotics due to their ability to assist human functionality improvement. A wearable lower limb exoskeleton is aimed at supporting the limb functionality...
When the beetle lands on the target, the hind wings fold regularly to form smaller wing packages and are hidden on the ventral side of the elytra due to the interaction between the elytra and abdomen. Its complex folding pattern is attributed to the ...
The utilization of datasets from beetle hindwings is prevalent in research of morphology and evolution of beetles, serving as a valuable tool for comprehending the evolutionary processes and functional adaptations under specific environmental conditi...
