“风洞”(Wind tunnel),过去多用于工程研究,特别是在航空工业研究方面。而昆虫学研究领域里的几例最新成果则显示,风洞技术在植物保护科学中正在发挥越来越大的作用。 例一,原始昆虫只具有短粗的小翅(Winglets),而今天大多数昆虫的成虫则生有完善的翅(full-length wings)。这种 Wind tunnels used to be used for engineering research, especially in aviation industry. In the field of entomology, several recent achievements show that wind tunnel technology is playing a more and more important role in plant protection science. For example, the primitive insects have only stubby Winglets, and most adult worms nowadays have full-length wings. This
