| Title: | THE VIRTUAL BIOLOGY OF SEPSID FLIES: 3D COMPUTER GRAPHICS TOOLS FOR RESEARCH IN MORPHOLOGY, SYSTEMATICS AND BIOMECHANICS | Authors: | PITTA DE ARAUJO DIEGO | Keywords: | 3D Modeling, 3D Animation, Data Visualization, Scientific Illustration, Entomology, Evolutionary Biology | Issue Date: | 19-Aug-2015 | Citation: | PITTA DE ARAUJO DIEGO (2015-08-19). THE VIRTUAL BIOLOGY OF SEPSID FLIES: 3D COMPUTER GRAPHICS TOOLS FOR RESEARCH IN MORPHOLOGY, SYSTEMATICS AND BIOMECHANICS. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | 3D computer graphics, the technology used for special effects in movies and animations, is proposed here as a tool for biologists to represent and study the anatomy, behaviour and evolution of life on earth. I document the power of this approach by creating 3D models of sepsid flies (Sepsidae, Diptera), quantify their morphological shapes, animate processes of morphological diversification and perform virtual experiments to test functional hypotheses. | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/122832 |
