Odonatan Wing Shapes for Bioinspired Drone Design with Phylogeny and Code

Tom Munro's dataset from 2026 provides files to replicate a biomimetics study on odonatan wing shapes. It contains wing outline images, a taxa list, a time-calibrated phylogeny, and analysis code in MATLAB and R. The 99.4 MB archive includes files in XLSX, TXT, R, CSV, TRE, and ZIP formats.

Use Cases

• Analyzing optimal wing shapes for drone design based on odonatan wing outline images
• Conducting phylogenetic comparative analyses using the provided time-calibrated phylogeny and taxa list
• Performing allometric and environmental analyses with the included R code and input files
• Replicating aerodynamic studies of insect wings using the MATLAB code and wing image data

Strengths

• Includes a 99.4 MB archive of all files required to replicate the described study
• Provides multiple data types and analysis code (MATLAB and R) for reproducibility
• Contains a time-calibrated phylogeny for evolutionary context

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
