Flight has independently evolved multiple times, but the first known instance is the emergence of insect wings some 325M years ago. All pterygota (winged) insects, regardless of wing type or flight ability possess mechanosensory structures. These structures have evolved into several specialized classes which allow insects to detect various aerodynamic and inertial forces. An ideal group for investigating wing sensory systems are the Odonates (dragonflies and damselflies). Of the most basal pterygota insect orders, Odonata are considered the best fliers. All Odonata are aerial predators and so they must fly at least as well as the prey they consume. Using extracellular recording techniques, we measured the activity of wing nerve afferents in response to constant pressure airflow as well as in the form of various frequency sine waves. We characterized different sensors based on their activity patterns, distribution along the wing, and their preferred stimulus type. From these data, we hope to determining which forces dragonflies are capable of detecting, so that we can begin to understand how these sensory systems contribute to flight behavior and evolution.
