Allometry of wing twist and camber in a flower chafer during free flight: How do wing deformations scale with body size?
Intraspecific variation in adult body mass can be particularly high in some insect species, mandating adjustment of the wing's structural properties to support the weight of the larger body mass in air. Insect wings elastically deform during flapping, dynamically changing the twist and camber o...
