Research Progress on Developmental Biology of Sarcosaprophagous Insects.

Fa yi xue za zhi Oct 25, 2021
Forensic entomology provides a feasible way to estimate postmortem interval (PMI), of which the growth and development of sarcosaprophagous insects is the most widely used indicator in forensic practice. Over the years, forensic entomologists have ca...

Deep learning and computer vision will transform entomology.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Jan 12, 2021
Most animal species on Earth are insects, and recent reports suggest that their abundance is in drastic decline. Although these reports come from a wide range of insect taxa and regions, the evidence to assess the extent of the phenomenon is sparse. ...

Polarized skylight-based heading measurements: a bio-inspired approach.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface Jan 31, 2019
Many insects such as desert ants, crickets, locusts, dung beetles, bees and monarch butterflies have been found to extract their navigation cues from the regular pattern of the linearly polarized skylight. These species are equipped with ommatidia in...
