For publishing a paper about measurement of flight metabolic rate in free-flying beetles. The paper will be published by Proceedings of the Royal Society B (link) and it resulted from our collaboration with the Eran Levin's lab.
See the press release in Ynet The paper deals with upwind flight of miniature parasitic wasps and include computer simulations of flight towards visual target in the presence of wind. Accepted to the Journal of Applied Entomology (In press)
