Like other insects, individual bees survive our harsh winters in diapause, overwintering in different stages of their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Those individuals survive safe from the ...
Researchers have observed sick adult ants leaving their colony to avoid sickening others. Now, they've discovered that ...
Abstract: Wing flapping of insects can cause micro-Doppler patterns in the reflected signals. Here we study the feasibility of insect sensing from a joint waveform from a near-field continuous-wave ...
Word of the Week: Diapause. How do ingenious insects use sophisticated strategies to survive winter?
