      abstract     = {Every year forest fires cause severe financial losses in
                      many countries of the world. Additionally, lives of humans
                      as well as of countless animals are often lost. Due to
                      global warming, the problem of wildfires is getting out of
                      control; hence, the burning of thousands of hectares is
                      obviously increasing. Most important, therefore, is the
                      early detection of an emerging fire before its intensity
                      becomes too high. More than ever, a need for early warning
                      systems capable of detecting small fires from distances as
                      large as possible exists. A look to nature shows that
                      pyrophilous “fire beetles” of the genus Melanophila can
                      be regarded as natural airborne fire detection systems
                      because their larvae can only develop in the wood of
                      fire-killed trees. There is evidence that Melanophila
                      beetles can detect large fires from distances of more than
                      100 km by visual and infrared cues. In a biomimetic
                      approach, a concept has been developed to use the surveying
                      strategy of the “fire beetles” for the reliable
                      detection of a smoke plume of a fire from large distances by
                      means of a basal infrared emission zone. Future infrared
                      sensors necessary for this ability are also inspired by the
                      natural infrared receptors of Melanophila beetles.},
