  1. 1. Power and Wake Dynamics of Hawkmoth Flight

    Författare :Kajsa Warfvinge; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Insect flight; Aerodynamics; Wind tunnel; Particle Image Velocimetry PIV .; tomo-PIV; Power; Manduca sexta; Macroglossum stellatarum; Hawkmoth;

    Sammanfattning : Aerodynamic theory states that the power required to fly is related to flight speed with a ∪-shaped curve. This has been shown in vertebrates, but insects have been proposed to have a flat, or J-shaped power curve. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hemolin, a versatile immune protein from the Cecropia moth

    Författare :Raul Bettencourt; Kenneth Söderhäll; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Insects have become useful models for the study of innate immune mechanisms, due to their lack of antibodies and receptors involved in adaptive immune response. However, the molecules and mechanisms involved in primordial immune recognition are still poorly understood. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Syntheses and behaviour activity of conjugated polyenic pheromone components

    Författare :Ilme Liblikas; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Organic chemistry; entomology; environmental sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the synthesis of conjugated dienicand trienic pheromone components- C12-C16alcohols, acetates and aldehydes and theirapplications in pheromone communication studies.Insect pheromones are widely used in modern pest management. LÄS MER
