Gravity and active acceleration limit the ability of killer flies (Coenosia attenuata) to steer towards prey when attacking from above.
Insects that predate aerially usually contrast prey against the sky and attack upwards. However, killer flies (Coenosia attenuata) can attack prey flying below them, performing what we term 'aerial dives'. During these dives...

Skeleton sled velocity profiles
The development of velocity across the skeleton start is critical to performance, yet poorly understood. We aimed to understand which components of the sled velocity profile determine performance and how physical abilities...

Effectiveness and efficiency of two distinct mechanisms for take-off in a derbid planthopper insect.
Analysis of the kinematics of take-off in the planthopper Proutista moesta (Hemiptera, Fulgoroidea, family Derbidae) from high-speed videos showed that these insects used two distinct mechanisms involving different appendages....
