Bookmark or Share- Beetle elytra: evolution, modifications and biological functionsJakub Goczał. and. Rolf G. Beutel. Published: 01 March 2023 https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2022.0559. Abstract. Conversion of forewings into hardened covers, elytra, was a ground-breaking morphological adaptation that has contributed to the extraordinary evolutionary success of beetles.
- Beetle Anatomy - Body Parts of Beetles With Diagrams - AnimalWisedIn some beetles, especially flying ones, the metathorax is the site of insertion of the hind wings. These wings are called membranous wings or hind wings. They are the wings are used for flight. Each segment of the thorax also contains muscles and internal structures that allow for movement and flexibility.
- Evolution, types, and distribution of flight control devices on wings ...Although wings, flight muscles, and the energetic budget of insects have been intensively studied in the last decades, almost nothing is known regarding the flight-control devices of many crucial...
- Structure and mechanical properties of beetle wings: a reviewBeetle wings are composed of a forewing (also known as elytron) and a hind wing. The elytra are rigid. A beetle's functional wings, which allow flying, are the hind wings. The elytra have an ingenious structure with superhydrophobic characteristics, a structural coloration and anti-adhesion characteristics.
- beetle - Kids | Britannica Kids | Homework HelpBeetles are insects that have hardened front wings. These front wings are not used for flying. Instead, they cover and protect a second pair of wings. In the past all beetles could fly. But some kinds have lost that ability over time. There are at least 250,000 species, or types, of beetle.
