Encapsulation and hemocyte numbers in three lepidopteran stemborers parasitized by Cotesia flavipes‐complex endoparasitoids
TLDR
Experiments on the chronology of encapsulation of the parasitoid progeny by host hemocytes indicated that lepidopteran stemborers that are taxonomically, behaviorally and ecologically very similar differ in their ability to encapsulate a parasitoids species.

Exploring the Role of Habitat on the Wettability of Cicada Wings.
TLDR
This work elucidates the differences between inter- and intraspecies cicada wing topology, wettability, and water shedding behavior but also enables the development of rational design tools for the manufacture of artificial surfaces for energy and water applications.

Molecular and Topographical Organization: Influence on Cicada Wing Wettability and Bactericidal Properties
TLDR
The data presented not only correlates the nanopillar molecular organization to macroscale functional properties, but it also presents design guidelines to consider during the replication of natural nanostructures onto engineered substrates to induce desired properties.

Ultrascalable Multifunctional Nanoengineered Copper and Aluminum for Antiadhesion and Bactericidal Applications.
TLDR
The results showed that nanostructures created on both Cu and Al were capable of physical deformation of adhered Escherichia coli bacteria, and suggested that the superhydrophobic Al substrate possesses superior antiadhesion and bactericidal effects, even over long time courses.
