Transient use of hemolymph for hydraulic wing expansion in cicadas

Autor: Mary K. Salcedo, Tyler E. Ellis, Ángela S. Sáenz, Joyce Lu, Terrell Worrell, Michael L. Madigan, John J. Socha

Publikováno v: Scientific Reports, Vol 13, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2023)

Abstract Insect wings must be flexible, light, and strong to allow dynamic behaviors such as flying, mating, and feeding. When winged insects eclose into adults, their wings unfold, actuated hydraulically by hemolymph. Flowing hemolymph in the wing i

Complex hemolymph circulation patterns in grasshopper wings

Autor: Mary K. Salcedo, Brian H. Jun, John J. Socha, Naomi E. Pierce, Pavlos P. Vlachos, Stacey A. Combes

Publikováno v: Communications Biology, Vol 6, Iss 1, Pp 1-12 (2023)

Study of grasshopper wings shows that hemolymph flows through every vein in the insect wing, creating a broad circuitous flow pattern in the wings, with three different flow behaviours (pulsatile, leaky, aperiodic).

Isometric spiracular scaling in scarab beetles—implications for diffusive and advective oxygen transport

Autor: Julian M Wagner, C Jaco Klok, Meghan E Duell, John J Socha, Guohua Cao, Hao Gong, Jon F Harrison

Publikováno v: eLife, Vol 11 (2022)

The scaling of respiratory structures has been hypothesized to be a major driving factor in the evolution of many aspects of animal physiology. Here, we provide the first assessment of the scaling of the spiracles in insects using 10 scarab beetle sp

A combined loading transducer for calculating the bending moment and torque in a slender circular beam using the minimum numbers of strain gauges, strain grids, and measurement channels

Autor: Bernard J Socha, Edward T Bednarz, Wei-Dong Zhu

Publikováno v: International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, Vol 16 (2020)

The purpose of this work is to develop a new methodology that uses the minimum numbers of strain gauges, strain grids, and measurement channels to calculate the bending moment and torque in a slender circular beam under combined loading from measured

Air sacs are a key adaptive trait of the insect respiratory system

Autor: Jon F. Harrison, Evan K. G. McKenzie, Stav Talal, John J. Socha, Mark W. Westneat, Philip G. D. Matthews

Publikováno v: Journal of Experimental Biology. 226

Air sacs are a well-known aspect of insect tracheal systems, but have received little research attention. In this Commentary, we suggest that the study of the distribution and function of air sacs in tracheate arthropods can provide insights of broad

Recovering signals in physiological systems with large datasets

Autor: Hodjat Pendar, John J. Socha, Julianne Chung

Publikováno v: Biology Open, Vol 5, Iss 8, Pp 1163-1174 (2016)

In many physiological studies, variables of interest are not directly accessible, requiring that they be estimated indirectly from noisy measured signals. Here, we introduce two empirical methods to estimate the true physiological signals from indire

Material properties of skin in the flying snake Chrysopelea ornata

Autor: Sarah B. Dellinger, Raffaella De Vita, Pavlos P. Vlachos, Martha M. Muñoz, John J. Socha

In snakes, the skin serves for protection, camouflage, visual signaling, locomotion, and its ability to stretch facilitates large prey ingestion. The flying snakes of the genus Chrysopelea are capable of jumping and gliding through the air, requiring

Mallard landing behavior on water follows a -constant braking strategy

Autor: John G. Whitehead, Terrell Worrell, John J. Socha

Publikováno v: Journal of Experimental Biology. 226

Many flying animals use optic flow to control their flight. During landing maneuvers, pigeons, hummingbirds, bats, Draco lizards and bees use the -constant braking strategy. This strategy regulates the approach by keeping the ratio of distance to an
