Models of Larch budmoth outbreaks in the European Alps may eventually show scientists how to model a variety of disease and insect eruptions that rely on a combination of enemy, host and spatial ...

As machine learning and artificial intelligence programs have advanced over the past decade, Iowa State University ...

Many insect species – notably the gypsy moth, one of North America's most devastating forest pests – produce periodic population surges, known as outbreaks, only to crash down to low levels. These ...

You know those scientific displays of labelled insects stuck on pins? Well, they decay over time, and sometimes even get eaten by an insect known as the museum beetle. That's why German scientists ...

Scientists at the Energy Department’s Argonne National Laboratory have pioneered a cutting-edge neuromorphic computer chip—modeled off the brains of bees, fruit flies and other insects—that can ...

Insects make up to 90% of all animal species on the planet, and most of them can be found in the tropics, the regions around ...

A new, simple scanning system can create precise 3D models of insects in color. The system uses off-the-shelf equipment, including a camera and a computer, to obtain detailed, true-color 3D images of ...

Scientists have developed a cost-effective, off-the-shelf system to obtain natural-color 3-D models of insects. Scientists studying insects rely on collected specimens that are often shared between ...
