Odor plumes form as the wind disperses odor molecules from their source. Their structure is
complex and is much like that seen in smoke plumes. The plume as a whole wanders …

Insects locate many resources important to survival by tracking along wind-borne odor
plumes to their source. It is well known that plumes are patchy distributions of high …

From the rain forests of Borneo to the tenements of Manhattan, winged insects are a
conspicuous and abundant feature of life on earth. Here, Robert Dudley presents the first …

IN studies of moths flying upwind to a pheromone source, attention has focused on the
influence on flight orientation of the composition1, 2 and concentration3, 4 of the chemical …

Orientation of animals using chemical cues often takes place in flows, where the stimulus
properties of odorants are affected by the characteristics of fluid motion. Kinematic analysis …

Many insects locate resources such as a mate, a host, or food by flying upwind along the
odor plumes that these resources emit to their source. A windborne plume has a turbulent …

Vegetation complexity is characterized by two major traits, ie, plant chemical and plant
structural complexity. Plant species diversity strongly determines these traits. Furthermore …

Male and female Manduca sexta flew upwind in response to the odor of female sex-
pheromone gland extract or fresh tobacco leaf respectively, and generated very similar …

In this study, we design and verify an intake system using the wake of a pocket-sized
quadcopter for the chemical plume tracing (CPT) problem. Solving CPT represents an …

Many animals find distant unseen resources by guiding their locomotion through fluid media,
using olfactory information acquired from plumes of odorant molecules issuing from the …
