AbstractSexual dichromatism is generally thought to arise from sexual selection favouring elaborately coloured males, as proposed in Darwin's model. Wallace offers an expanded perspective, emphasising that the evolution of cryptic and dim female colouration to evade nest predation significantly contributed to the origin of sexual dichromatism. However, previous studies on the evolutionary forces of sexual dichromatism examining Darwin's and Wallace's models have produced mixed results.

ABSTRACTA concentrated-torsion flexible airfoil model is established to enhance the output characteristics of the flapping airfoil energy capture device in this work. The effect of the damping ratio C2*, spring ratio K2* of the torsion spring, and mass ratio MA* of the tail airfoil on the dynamic characteristics is investigated systematically.

The most recent hate against Haitian Americans feels depressingly familiar: rumors and lies, amplified online and by prominent leaders, invoke racist tropes and incite violence. Already, bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, have forced schools and city buildings to close. An entire community fears that its most vulnerable members—immigrants and children—will fall victim.
