Early Work and Research on Locust Flight, 1941-1958, 1941-1958

 Series
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.8250 B.1-B.143
Scope and Contents

Early Work and Research on Locust Flight is comprised of material covering Weis-Fogh's research up to the discovery in 1958 of resilin (B.136). Much of the research done during this period remained an important basis for further experimental work, and Weis-Hogh used some of the hitherto unpublished results in later papers (see C.26 and D.40-D.42). The majority of the material is in Danish.

The papers include background material to the discovery of resilin (C.1-C.6), and cover the work Weis-Fogh carried out on several aspects of insect physiology while in Copenhagen, including the tracheal system and muscle action potential in locusts (C.12-C.30).
