The Mechanisms Of Flight Control

Pages 4 Pages

Despite the limitations imposed by their small brains and simple sensory systems, insects are capable of flying and navigating over tens of kilometres through complex natural environments. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden aim to understand how different insect species use visual information and antennal mechanosensors to control flight. For this purpose, they have constructed flight facilities and equipped them with Mikrotron high-spe
