We know very little about insect evolution despite them inhabiting every kind of environment on our planet. At a time when the future of many insect species is threatened, researchers are looking to ...
Understanding the evolution of insect mating behavior is essential for explaining how early insects adapted to life on land. A new study examines Petrobiellus akkesiensis, a rare jumping bristletail, ...
Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.
Researchers have proposed a new model for the evolution of higher brain functions and behaviors in the Hymenoptera order of insects. The team compared the Kenyon cells, a type of neuronal cell, in the ...
"This book is published on the occasion of the Royal Entomological Society's International Symposium on 'The Evolution of Insect Mating Systems' in St. Andrews, September 4-6, 2013. All symposium ...
Some insects can flap their wings so rapidly that it’s impossible for instructions from their brains to entirely control the behaviour. Building tiny flapping robots has helped researchers shed light ...
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 15. The intricate tapestry of insect evolution has captivated researchers across disciplines, revealing profound insights into the ...
Insect life-cycle polymorphism : introduction / S. Masaki and W. Wipking -- Diversity and integration of life-cycle controls in insects / H.V. Danks -- Seasonal plasticity and life-cycle adaptations ...
A new study on the mating behavior of jumping bristletail (Petrobiellus akkesiensis) reports the first documented case of direct sperm transfer via genital coupling in apterygote hexapods. The study ...
Scientists use cutting edge scanning technology to reconstruct 'fossil monster' that lived half a billion years ago. The creature's soft anatomy was well-preserved, allowing it to be imaged almost ...
On a hot summer day, strolling down a city street with concrete in every direction can feel like walking into an oven. It ...
