Escape manoeuvres in damsel-fly larvae: kinematics and dynamics.
The kinematics and hydrodynamics of rapid escape manoeuvres executed by final-stage larvae of Enallagma cyathigerum were investigated using videography combined with a simple wake-visualisation technique. Two kinds of escape manoeuvres were identified: first, a 'rapid flex', comparable with the rapid C-start of fish, and, second, a 'rapid twist' that involves a helical contraction of the body i...
متن کاملFlight mechanics and control of escape manoeuvres in hummingbirds. I. Flight kinematics.
Hummingbirds are nature's masters of aerobatic manoeuvres. Previous research shows that hummingbirds and insects converged evolutionarily upon similar aerodynamic mechanisms and kinematics in hovering. Herein, we use three-dimensional kinematic data to begin to test for similar convergence of kinematics used for escape flight and to explore the effects of body size upon manoeuvring. We studied ...
متن کاملDynamics of Social Behavior in Fruit Fly Larvae
We quantified the extent and dynamics of social interactions among fruit fly larvae over time. Both a wild-type laboratory population and a recently-caught strain of larvae spontaneously formed social foraging groups. Levels of aggregation initially increased during larval development and then declined with the wandering stage before pupation. We show that larvae aggregated more on hard than so...
متن کاملTumbu Fly Larvae.
A 46-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 10-day history of pain and swelling in her right arm. She had recently returned to the United Kingdom from the Ivory Coast. Examination revealed distinct areas of ulceration with surrounding erythema distal to her right elbow. Cellulitis due to insect bites was diagnosed, and she was treated with antibiotic agents. The following d...
