Raman , Raman R, Labisch S, Dirks J
Acta Biomater
. 2024 Dec;
193:279-290.
PMID: 39675499
Echinoderms and vertebrates both possess mesodermal endoskeletons. In vertebrates, the response to mechanical loads and the capacity to remodel the ultrastructure of the skeletal system are fundamental attributes of their...

Stamm K, Dirks J
Proc Biol Sci
. 2023 Dec;
290(2012):20232141.
PMID: 38052238
A typical feature of biological materials is their ability to adapt to mechanical load. However, it is not known whether the cuticle exoskeleton, one of the most common biological structures,...

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2022 Oct;
209(2):285-297.
PMID: 36190542
Arthropods and in particular insects show a great variety of different exoskeletal sensors. For most arthropods, spatial orientation and gravity perception is not fully understood. In particular, the interaction of...

. 2022 Feb;
66:101139.
PMID: 35101658
One of the most versatile and complex biological composite materials, the insect exoskeleton shows a huge range in biomechanical properties. The cuticle exoskeleton can be differentiated into two main histologically...

. 2020 May;
223(Pt 9).
PMID: 32366698
The evolution of wings has played a key role in the success of insect species, allowing them to diversify to fill many niches. Insect wings are complex multifunctional structures, which...

PMID: 31262788
Many insects are able to precisely control their jumping movements. Once in the air, the properties of the actual landing site, however, are almost impossible to predict. Falling insects thus...
