Models of Larch budmoth outbreaks in the European Alps may eventually show scientists how to model a variety of disease and insect eruptions that rely on a combination of enemy, host and spatial ...

Insect innate immune responses rely on both cellular and humoral effector mechanisms to combat infection. Cellular defences are mediated by circulating haemocytes that perform phagocytosis, ...

3D printed models of a wasp (front), a fly (rear), and a series of intermediate mimics generated by 3D morphing. Experts from the University of Nottingham have created life-size 3D-printed insect ...

Scientists at the Energy Department’s Argonne National Laboratory have pioneered a cutting-edge neuromorphic computer chip—modeled off the brains of bees, fruit flies and other insects—that can ...
