All extant macroscopic terrestrial diversity has evolved from the ancestors of a small group of successful terrestrial colonizers, but in a few lineages this transition has independently occurred multiple times in spite of the significant f...
The reproductive system of Ceracis cornifer (Mellié) and first description of sperm structure in a minute tree-fungus beetle (Tenebrionoidea: Ciidae) [0.03%]
Ceracis cornifer (Mellié) 的生殖系统及其精子结构的首次描述(鞘翅目: Ciidae Minute Tree-Fungus Beetles)

Camila Folly et al.
Studies on the spermatogenesis of Tenebrionidae beetles (Tenebrionoidea) have shown an unusual organization of spermatozoa, in which they are arranged antiparallelly within the testicular cysts. Despite such works, many taxa of Tenebrionoid...
Mouthparts of nectar-feeding Tanyderidae (Insecta: Diptera): lapping and siphoning [0.03%]
沫翅目采食花蜜的口器:吸食和舔吸

Mouthparts of adult Tanyderidae are examined in detail for the first time, with emphasis on scanning electron microscopy. A full set of mouthparts, devoid of conspicuous dentation or serration and showing no differences between sexes, was f...
The morphology of Colpocephalum pectinatum (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) under scanning electron microscopy [0.03%]
扫描电镜下毛虱科长毛属Colpocephalum pectinatum形态学研究

Gracia Liébanas et al.
Here, we describe under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the morphology of Colpocephalum pectinatum (Phthiraptera, Menoponidae), an ectoparasite found in burrowing owls, Athene cunicularia. We devote particular attention to the morphology...

Thysanoptera are haplo-diploid insects that reproduce either via arrhenotoky or thelytoky. Beside genetically based thelytoky, this reproduction mode can also be endosymbiont induced. The recovery of these females from their infection again...
Morphology and ultrastructure of the epithelial femoral gland in cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [0.03%]
蝉(Hemiptera:Cicadidae)股节腺的组织形态与超微结构研究

Exocrine glands in the legs of social insects are found throughout all leg segments, but studies of exocrine glands in legs of solitary insects are very limited. We discovered a novel gland at the apex of the fore, mid and hind femurs from ...
The tracheal system in the stick insect prothorax and prothoracic legs: Homologies to Orthoptera and relations to mechanosensory functions [0.03%]
具翅䗛前胸背板和前腿节的气管系统:与直翅目的同源性及其机械感受功能关系研究

Arthropod respiration depends on the tracheal system running from spiracles at the body surface through the body and appendages. Here, three species of stick insects (Carausius morosus, Ramulus artemis, Sipyloidea sipylus) are investigated ...
A review of the hexapod tracheal system with a focus on the apterygote groups [0.03%]
具翅纲节肢动物气管系统的综述

Respiratory systems are key innovations for the radiation of terrestrial arthropods. It is therefore surprising that there is still a considerable lack of knowledge. In this review of the available information on tracheal systems of hexapod...
Social conquest of land: Sea-to-land changes in shell architecture and body morphology, with consequences for social evolution [0.03%]

Architecture, like nests, burrows, and other types of fortresses, may have played an important role in the evolution of social life on land. However, few studies have examined architecture in organisms that transitioned from sea to land to ...
