- Dispersal ability rather than ecological tolerance drives differences in range size between lentic and lotic water beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) (2012, background): “Jonsson, 2003), wing morphometrics are known to relate to flight performance (Brodsky, 1994; Berwaerts et al., 2002; Gibb et al., 2006; Larsen et al., 2008); consequently, flight wing morphology can provide a proxy of relative dispersal ability amongst closely related, functionally similar species.”
- Exploring plastic and genetic responses to temperature variation using copper butterflies (2010, background): “Flight performance, adult morphology and adult life span In addition to the patterns described formance (e.g. Berwaerts et al. 2002, Van Dyck & Wiklund 2002, Berwaerts & Van Dyck 2004).”
- Territorial and mating success of dragonflies that vary in muscle power output and presence of gregarine gut parasites (2004, background): “In the particular case of flying animals it has been shown that a high ratio of flight muscle mass to total body weight affects aerial performance and success in competitive interactions (Marden 1989; Coelho & Holliday 2001; Berwaerts et al. 2002).”
- Parasites hinder monarch butterfly flight: implications for disease spread in migratory hosts (2005, background): “Past studies of other butterfly species have demonstrated that flight performance and mechanics are influenced by morphological variables (Dingle 1996; Srygley & Kingsolver 2000; Berwaerts et al. 2002 ).”
- Modelling and analysing evolution of dispersal in populations at expanding range boundaries (2007, background): “…(comprising predominantly flight muscle), and larger wings with higher aspect ratios (= narrower wings) and wing loadings ( Dempster et al. , 1976; Betts & Wootton, 1988; Srygley & Chai, 1990; Chai & Srygley, 1990; Marden & Chai, 1991; Dudley, 2000; Berwaerts et al. , 2002; Fric & Konvicka, 2002 ).”
- Landscape structure and phenotypic plasticity in flight morphology in the butterfly Pararge aegeria (2006, background): “For a detailed discussion of the functional significance see Dudley (2000), Berwaerts et al. (2002) and Van Dyck (2003).”
