The paper compares flight muscle morphology and volume allocation between two moth families with different flight strategies, finding divergent muscle proportions and specific muscle specializations.

This study demonstrates that hawkmoth flight muscle can transition between stretch-activated and neural-activated modes in virtual reality, showing entrainment when activation timescales align.

This study shows insects flap wings above their resonant frequency, revealing supra-resonance as a general principle for high-frequency flight across multiple species.

The paper investigates how moth wingbeat frequency relates to resonant frequency and biomechanical adaptations across species.
