network activity, depending on the neuron-intrinsic dynamics and ion channel composition. In the asynchronous flight CPG, this mechanism translates unpatterned premotor input into stereotyped neuronal firing with fixed sequences of cell activation that ensure stable wingbeat power and, as we show, is ...
Hence, it should not be ruled out that bristles are also playing a sensing role, by facilitating feedback control in response to changes in flow conditions and bristle displacements. Owing to there being very little research directed towards this topic, the effects of bristle flexibility are not...
Flying insects that transmit human, animal, and plant pathogens have global impacts on human health, agriculture, and ecological stability1,2. Eighty percent of the world’s population is vulnerable to vector-borne diseases, which account for ca.17% of all infectious diseases and kill over 700,...

flight. In this study, we investigate the lateral stabilization control of the model drone fly. The method of computational fluid dynamics is used to compute the lateral control derivatives and the techniques of eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis and modal decomposition are used for solving the ...
The longitudinal steady-state control for going from hovering to small speed flight of a model insect is studied, using the method of computational fluid dynamics to compute the aerodynamic derivatives and the techniques based on the linear theories of stability and control for determining the non-...
Therefore, the KUBeetle is capable of hovering flight on Mars, since it has enough time to use the feedback controls to stabilize the system. This work can be used to support the studies of the flight control of flapping wing robots in the Martian atmospheric condition, and to generalize ...
Conversely, larger sized insects capable of direct flight have good sensory abilities that allow them to perform oriented movement and thus represent good candidates for control by companion planting [21]. 2.1. Companions that draw pests away from the protection target Trap crops are ...
Prescribed burns that restore historic fire regimes can improve insect habitat 8, 9 and control fuels, decreasing the likelihood of megafire development and spread. Although, some future megafires may be unavoidable. However, we may be able to reduce their impacts. Where possible, land managers ...
