Sexual dimorphism and plasticity in wing shape in three Diptera
2017-05-09
Abstract excerpt
The ability of powered flight in insects facilitated their great evolutionary success allowing them to occupy various ecological niches. Beyond this primary task, wings are often involved in various premating behaviors, such as the generation of courtship songs and the initiation of mating in flight.
