About Elena Gorb

Elena Gorb, With an exceptional h-index of 31 and a recent h-index of 22 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, specializes in the field of Insect-plant interactions, functional surfaces, seed dispersal, systematics and evolution of higher plants.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Insect attachment on waxy plant surfaces: the effect of pad contamination by different waxes

Mechanoecology: biomechanical aspects of insect-plant interactions

The tight attachment achieved by the male discoidal setae is possibly a counter-adaptation to the grease layer on female integument surfaces in green dock beetles

Petals Reduce Attachment of Insect Pollinators: A Case Study of the Plant Dahlia pinnata and the Fly Eristalis tenax

Coleoptera claws and trichome interlocking

Hierachical epicuticular wax coverage on leaves of Deschampsia antarctica as a possible adaptation to severe environmental conditions

Anti-icing strategies of plant surfaces: the ice formation on leaves visualized by Cryo-SEM experiments

Oviposition site selection and attachment ability of Propylea quatuordecimpunctata and Harmonia axyridis from the egg to the adult stage
