A quasi-steady aerodynamic model in consideration of the center of pressure (C.P.) was developed for insect flight. A dynamically scaled-up robotic hawkmoth wing was used to obtain the translational lift, drag, moment and rotational force coefficient...
Forecasting insect pest populations before crops are planted can help improve management and reduce pesticide use. Pests with long dispersal potentials and wide host ranges are difficult to predict but often cause losses in crops across broad spatial...
The oriental armyworm, (Walker), is a highly migratory pest known for its sudden larval outbreaks, which result in severe crop losses. These unpredictable surges pose significant challenges for timely and accurate monitoring, as conventional methods...
Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is one of the pests that pose a serious threat to forest and agronomic crops in China. Its spread is influenced by various factors, including environmental factors and anthropogenic factors, and the available ...
The Asian corn borer, (Guenée), emerges as a significant threat to maize cultivation, inflicting substantial damage upon the crops. Particularly, its larval stage represents a critical point characterised by significant economic consequences on maiz...
Researchers have shown growing interest in using deep neural networks (DNNs) to efficiently test the effects of perceptual processes on the evolution of colour patterns and morphologies. Whether this is a valid approach remains unclear, as it is unkn...
Flying insects have evolved to develop efficient strategies to navigate in natural environments. Yet, studying them experimentally is difficult because of their small size and high speed of motion. Consequently, previous studies were limited to tethe...
