This paper investigates the mechanical mechanisms of beetle horn remodeling during metamorphosis using physical simulations and biological experiments, identifying key factors that drive shape transformation.

This study uses origami to create physical models of shell shapes based on a mathematical growing tube model, enabling hands-on understanding of shell morphology parameters.

This study identifies genetic factors regulating the depth and 2D pattern of primordial furrows in rhinoceros beetle horns, showing they independently control the final 3D shape.
