Title: EARLY WORK AND RESEARCH ON LOCUST FLIGHT 1941-58 B.1 - B.143
Description:

This Section covers Weis-Fogh's research up to the discovery in 1958 of a hitherto unknown protein in insect cuticle, which was later named resilin (see CSAC.65.3.79/B.136 and Section C).

 

Much of the research done during this period remained an important basis for further experimental work, and Weis-Fogh used some of these hitherto unpublished results in later papers (see CSAC.65.3.79/C.26, CSAC.65.3.79/D.40 - CSAC.65.3.79/D.42). The majority of the material is in Danish and this is usually noted as part of the description of each item. Titles and descriptions in inverted commas are those which appear on Weis-Fogh's folders or notes, but the words 'in Danish' indicate that the original title has been translated.

Arrangement:

The material is presented as follows:

 

B.1 - B.49 Early research and work in August Krogh's laboratory, 1941-53

 

B.50 - B.66 Work on locust flight muscle, 1953-56

 

B.67 - B.143 Material relating to the 'Biology and Physics of Locust Flight', 1948-58

 

Each sub-section is preceded by an introductory note.
