This project investigates the evolution of insect mouthparts by analyzing their mechanical properties using advanced engineering techniques. It aims to understand how different feeding mechanisms developed over time, which can also inform the design of more efficient robotic systems.
Insects are extremely efficient feeders that impact on the world's ecosystems and our agriculture with their feeding capabilities.
Insects evolved diverse mouthpart types during ~400 million years of evolution which allowed them to conquer many food recourses.
How this feeding system evolved, in particular the transition from one mouthpart type to the other, is unclear.
My idea represents the first extensive assessment of insect head mechanics applying latest semi-automatic workflows and enginee…
