Why most flies fly alike: a new study pins the uniformity on physics, not ecology
A PLOS Biology analysis of 133 species shows Diptera converge on nearly identical wingbeat kinematics — and mosquitoes are the conspicuous exception.

Desk note: this article frames the PLOS Biology result as a physics-constrained convergence story with mosquitoes as the documented outlier, anchored to the paper's kinematics dataset and the authors' own aerodynamic interpretation.
