A dive into a bizarre speculative ecosystem where birdlike insects evolve unusual bodies and behaviors.

Winter transforms the world around us, blanketing landscapes in snow and silencing the buzz of summer. Yet, while we may retreat indoors to escape the cold, insects face a far greater challenge: ...

Some insects can flap their wings so rapidly that it’s impossible for instructions from their brains to entirely control the behaviour. Building tiny flapping robots has helped researchers shed light ...

Robots helped achieve a major breakthrough in our understanding of how insect flight evolved. The study is a result of a six-year long collaboration between roboticists and biophysicists. Robots built ...

This is the time of migration triggered by later sunrises and earlier sunsets, mostly seen with birds now, especially hawks, kestrels and bald eagles at Hawk Ridge. Other raptors — geese, blackbirds, ...

In a remarkable scientific achievement, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the intricate biomechanics of insect wings, with a particular focus on the wing hinge mechanism of ...
