In most developing tissues, signals called morphogens act like lighthouses, guiding nearby cells toward their fate and telling them what to become. Each cell relies on such signals for organized ...
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 ...
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, ...
"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 ...
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.
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 ...
Their 400-million-year history of diversification has produced well over 900,000 living and named insect species, plus countless unnamed ones. Their evolution is a huge success story out of which ...
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 ...
Insect evolution is characterised by deep divergences and rapid radiations that have given rise to unparalleled terrestrial biodiversity. Phylogenetic analysis integrates molecular, morphological and ...
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 ...
