Locomotor biomechanics faces a core trade-off between laboratory-based and field-based
studies. Laboratory conditions offer control over confounding factors, repeatability, and …

Changes in temperature alter muscle kinetics and in turn affect whole-organism
performance. Some organisms use the elastic recoil of biological springs, structures which …

Introduction: Flight muscle histolysis, as an important survival strategy, is a widespread
phenomenon in insects and facilitates adaptation to the external environment in various …
