Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, 19(193), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2022.0285Male mosquitoes detect and localize conspecific females by their flight-tones using the Johnston's organ (JO), which detects antennal deflections under the influence of local particle motion. Acoustic behaviours of mosquitoes and their JO physiology... Read More about Auditory sensory range of male mosquitoes for the detection of female flight sound.
Systematic characterization of wing mechanosensors that monitor airflow and wing deformations (2022)
Journal Article
Fabian, J., Siwanowicz, I., Uhrhan, M., Maeda, M., Bomphrey, R., & Lin, H. (2022). Systematic characterization of wing mechanosensors that monitor airflow and wing deformations. iScience, 25(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2022.104150Animal wings deform during flight in ways that can enhance lift, facilitate flight control, and mitigate damage. Monitoring the structural and aerodynamic state of the wing is challenging because deformations are passive, and the flow fields are unst...

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface, https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2021.0710Aerodynamic functions of the avian tail have been studied previously using observations of bird flight, physical models in wind tunnels, theoretical modelling, and flow visualization. However, none of these approaches has provided rigorous, quantitat...
