“…If C is the same dimensionless function value for all animals, we obtain by ignoring the minor variations of air density and gravitational field strength the following simple proportional relationship for the wing-beat frequency of a hovering animal [ 38 ] The functional form of Eq 6 follows from laws of physics. This mean that other power-law functions discussed in Ref.…”

We derive an equation that applies for the wing-beat frequency of flying animals and to the fin-stroke frequency of diving animals like penguins and whales. The equation states that the wing/fin-beat frequency is proportional to the square root of the animal’s mass divided by the wing area. Data for birds, insects, bats, and even a robotic bird—supplemented by data for whales and penguins that must swim to stay submerged—show that the constant of proportionality is to a good approximation the same across all species; thus the equation is universal. The wing/fin-beat frequency equation is derived by dimensional analysis, which is a standard method of reasoning in physics. We finally demonstrate that a mathematically even simpler expression without the animal mass does not apply.

“…The wingbeat frequency of oversea migrants varies at the order, family, and species levels, which is related to the different body structures of insects [ 28 , 29 ]. Laboratory measurement results showed that the wingbeat frequency of Lepidoptera was 6.71–81.28 Hz, that of Neuroptera was 19.17–30.53 Hz, and that of Odonata was 18.35–38.01 Hz [ 29 ]. While Lepidoptera have a wide range of wingbeat frequencies, the wingbeat frequency of Noctuidae pests is mainly concentrated at 35–45 Hz, and temperature is the main environmental factor affecting it.…”

Through long-distance migration, insects not only find suitable breeding locations and increase the survival space and opportunities for the population but also facilitate large-scale material, energy, and information flow between regions, which is important in maintaining the stability of agricultural ecosystems and wider natural ecosystems. In this study, we summarize the changes in biological characteristics such as morphology, ovarian development, reproduction, and flight capability during the seasonal migration of the insect. In consideration of global research work, the interaction between flight and reproduction, the influence and regulation of the insulin-like and juvenile hormone on the flight and reproductive activities of migrating insects, and the types of energy substances, metabolic processes, and hormone regulation processes during insect flight are elaborated. This systematic review of the latest advances in the studies on insect migration biology and energy metabolism will help readers to better understand the biological behavior and regulation mechanism of the energy metabolism of insect migration.

“…Wingbeat frequency, a parameter that plays a role in various biological and ecological functions, including mating and thermoregulation [56][57][58][59][60][61][62], is one of the main features used for clustering. The accurate interpretation and utilization of wingbeat frequency data are contingent upon a comprehensive understanding of its dependency on environmental factors, most notably temperature.…”

This study examines the relationship between the wingbeat frequency of flying insects and ambient temperature, leveraging data from over 302,000 insect observations obtained using a near-infrared optical sensor during an eight-month field experiment. By measuring the wingbeat frequency as well as wing and body optical cross-sections of each insect in conjunction with the ambient temperature, we identified five clusters of insects and analyzed how their average wingbeat frequencies evolved over temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 38 °C. Our findings reveal a positive correlation between temperature and wingbeat frequency, with a more pronounced increase observed at higher wingbeat frequencies. Frequencies increased on average by 2.02 Hz/°C at 50 Hz, and up to 9.63 Hz/°C at 525 Hz, and a general model is proposed. This model offers a valuable tool for correcting wingbeat frequencies with temperature, enhancing the accuracy of insect clustering by optical and acoustic sensors. While this approach does not account for species-specific responses to temperature changes, our research provides a general insight, based on all species present during the field experiment, into the intricate dynamics of insect flight behavior in relation to environmental factors.
