Pretreated Butterfly Wings for Tuning the Selective Vapor Sensing
Photonic nanoarchitectures occurring in the scales of Blue butterflies are responsible for their vivid blue wing coloration. These nanoarchitectures are quasi-ordered nanocomposites which are constituted from a chitin matrix with embedded air holes. Therefore, they can act as chemically selective sensors due to their color changes when mixing volatile vapors in the surrounding atmosphere which ...
متن کاملBio-sensing with butterfly wings: naturally occurring nano-structures for SERS-based malaria parasite detection.
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool with great potential to provide improved bio-sensing capabilities. The current 'gold-standard' method for diagnosis of malaria involves visual inspection of blood smears using light microscopy, which is time consuming and can prevent early diagnosis of the disease. We present a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrate based ...
متن کاملWhen a butterfly flaps its wings…
On 20 May, most UK newspapers carried large colour photographs of the monarch butterfly. Some were even bigger than the accompanying reports, with headlines typified by the Daily Mail’s “GM pollen that can mean a cloud of death for butterflies.” The implication was that genetically modified plants in general threaten butterflies in general — even the environment in general. The articles stemmed...
متن کاملFlexural stiffness patterns of butterfly wings (Papilionoidea)
A flying insect generates aerodynamic forces through the active manipulation of the wing and the “passive” properties of deformability and wing shape. To investigate these “passive” properties, the flexural stiffness of dried forewings belonging to 10 butterfly species was compared to the butterflies’ gross morphological parameters to determine allometric relationships. The results show that fl...
متن کاملIn situ protocol for butterfly pupal wings using riboprobes.
Here we present, in video format, a protocol for in situ hybridizations in pupal wings of the butterfly Bicyclus anynana using riboprobes. In situ hybridizations, a mainstay of developmental biology, are useful to study the spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression in developing tissues at the level of transcription. If antibodies that target the protein products of gene transcription ha...
