Researchers have developed a model that can recreate, with only a few parameters, the wing patterns of a large group of insects, shedding light on how these complex patterns form. For many species of ...

Would a single insect wing be able to change the history of the prehistoric past? In the Dinosaur Provincial Park, also known as a treasures trove of fossils of the mighty dinosaurs, a McGill ...

Dragonflies are hard to miss. Big, fast, and buzzing over trout streams like little helicopters, they’re the opposite of subtle. If a trout can pick out a size 22 mayfly, it certainly isn’t blind to a ...

We investigated if dragonfly larvae community composition and species abundance curves are sensitive to variation in predation intensity, and whether the fit to a particular niche partitioning model ...

Harvard researchers have developed a computational model that can mimic, with only a few, simple parameters, the complex wing patterns of a large group of distantly-related insects, shedding light on ...
