Journal Article

Aggression between conspecific males is widespread in the animal kingdom, as is the fact that some individuals are far more aggressive than others. Consistent interindividual differences in behavioural profiles are generally regarded as a hallmark fo...

Take-off speed in jumping mantises depends on body size and a power-limited mechanism (2016)
Journal Article
Sutton, G. P., Doroshenko, M., Cullen, D. A., & Burrows, M. (2016). Take-off speed in jumping mantises depends on body size and a power-limited mechanism. The journal of experimental biology, 219(14), 2127-2136. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.133728

Many insects such as fleas, froghoppers and grasshoppers use a catapult mechanism to jump, and a direct consequence of this is that their take-off velocities are independent of their mass. In contrast, insects such as mantises, caddis flies and bush... Read More about Take-off speed in jumping mantises depends on body size and a power-limited mechanism.
