Merodon capi Vujić et Radenković, 2020 and Merodon roni Radenković et Vujić, 2020 are two cryptic species belonging to the Merodon planifacies Bezzi, 1915 species complex that have recently been described, with the differences between t...
Minute workers and large soldiers in the subterranean ant Carebara perpusilla: Musculoskeletal consequences of Haller's rule in the thorax [0.03%]
地下蚂蚁Carebara perpusilla的工蚁和大兵蚁：Haller规则对胸肌骨骼系统的影响

Adam Khalife
Many organismal traits vary with body size, often reflecting trade-offs in the face of size-dependent constraints. For example, Haller's rule, the allometric pattern whereby smaller organisms have proportionally larger brains, can have carr...
Do the different life history strategies of ants and honeybees determine fat body morphology? [0.03%]
蚂蚁和蜜蜂的生活史策略差异决定脂肪体形态吗？

Łukasz Wójcik et al.
The separation of two sister groups such as ants and bees in the Cretaceous involved the development of distinctive characteristics to occupy separate ecological niches. From the point of view of biology and ecology, it is important to see ...
An anatomical and ultrastructural study of the eye of the luminescent millipede Paraspirobolus lucifugus (Gervais 1836) (Diplopoda, Spirobolida, Spiroboleliidae) [0.03%]

The two forward-looking eyes and their ultrastructural organization of an 18 mm long adult bioluminescent female millipede (Paraspirobolus lucifugus) were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectros...
Thoracic crop formation is spatiotemporally coordinated with flight muscle histolysis during claustral colony foundation in Lasius japonicus queens [0.03%]
日本舍腰蜂后母体胸 Crop 形成在时间与空间上与飞行肌组织重塑相互协调以建立封闭型初生巢群

Yuta Kurihara et al.
In a majority of ants, a newly mated queen independently founds a colony and claustrally raises her first brood without foraging outside the nest. During claustral independent colony foundation (ICF) in several ants, the esophagus of the fo...
Effect of vibrational mating disruption on flight activity and oviposition to control the grapevine pest, Scaphoideustitanus [0.03%]
振动干扰对葡萄害虫Scaphoideustitanus交配飞行活动及产卵的影响

The increasing demand for safe and sustainably produced food is leading to the development of strategies of pest control alternative to chemicals. One innovative method is Vibrational Mating Disruption (VMD) to disrupt insect communication ...
Vibration detection in arthropods: Signal transfer, biomechanics and sensory adaptations [0.03%]
节肢动物的振动感知：信号传递、生物力学和感觉适应性
Johannes Strauß,Nataša Stritih-Peljhan
Johannes Strauß
In arthropods, the detection of vibrational signals and stimuli is essential in several behaviours, including mate recognition and pair formation, prey detection, and predator evasion. These behaviours have been studied in several species o...
The larval scaffold controls fascicle number but is not required for formation of the dorsolongitudinal flight muscles in Manduca sexta [0.03%]
Manduca sexta 中幼虫支架控制肌束数目但不是背纵飞行肌肉形成所必需的因子
J Clark Ludwig,Hitoshi Aonuma,Barry Trimmer
J Clark Ludwig
During metamorphosis, the dorsolongitudinal flight muscles (DLMs) of both the moth Manduca sexta and the fly Drosophila melanogaster develop from the remnants of larval muscles called larval scaffolds. Although this developmental program ha...
Histology and ultrastructure of glands associated with the sting apparatus of the swarm-founding wasp Protopolybia exigua (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae) [0.03%]
与社群建立的黄尾胡腰PET虫刺器相关的腺体的组织学和超微结构研究(Hymenoptera：Vespidae：Polistinae)

Marjorie da Silva
Social insects present a great diversity of exocrine glands, which are linked to fundamental roles of social life, and their morphological characterization represents the first step toward the knowledge of their function. We here describe t...
Distal leg structures of Zoraptera - did the loss of adhesive devices curb the chance of diversification? [0.03%]
