Aspectos da variação morfométrica em Triacanthagyna septima (Selys, 1857) (Insecta, Odonata, Aeshnidae), com notas sobre a sua taxonomia
… of discrete nature in some structures of the wing venation. These variations were analyzed, using statistical methods, in 225 specimens from Southeastern Brazil. This analysis was carried out with the aim of describing the frequency patterns of the distinct character states and their …

Exploring the Evolution and Taxonomy of Evaniidae (Hymenoptera), a Charismatic and Enigmatic Family of Insects
… biological attributes (mimicry complexes, wing venation heterogeneity, unexplored biogeographical patterns) the systematics of these wasps has largely been neglected. The current classification is evaluated phylogenetically, using fragments of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA and cytochrome …

Wing flexibility and design for animal flight
The wings of flying animals change shape dramatically during flight, yet the control and effects of these shape changes have received little attention. In Chapter 1, I discuss the potential effects of wing flexibility and dynamic shape changes in flying vertebrates (who can actively control wing …

Morfologia externa dos Cicadellinae (Homoptera: Cicadellidae): comparação entre Versigonalia ruficauda (Walk.) (Cicadellini) e Tretogonia cribata Mel.(Proconiini), com notas sobre outras espécies e análise da terminologia
… is analyzed. The head, axillary sclerites, wing venation, female genitalia, and tegumentary processes are described. Notes on other Cicadellini – Amblyscartidia albofasciata (Walk.), Tettisama quinquemaculata (Germ.), Macugonalia leucomelas (Walk.), and Diedrocephala variegata (F.) - and …

Discovering the Complex Aerodynamics of Flapping Flight with Bio-kinematics Using Boltzmann and Eulerian Methods
The cross-sectional geometry of an insect wing has historically been simplified to a rectangular, elliptic, or having a streamlined airfoil shape. Up until this point, no analysis has utilized a morphologically accurate insect wing. As such, there remains significant questions as to whether or not …
