The Biomechanics of Insect Flight: Form, Function, EvolutionPrinceton University Press, 29 сент. 2002 г. - Всего страниц: 476 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 comprehensive explanation of how insects fly. The author relates the biomechanics of flight to insect ecology and evolution in a major new work of synthesis. |
