Bad guys turned nice? A critical assessment of Wolbachia mutualisms in arthropod hosts

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2015
Wolbachia are the most abundant bacterial endosymbionts among arthropods. Although maternally inherited, they do not conform to the widespread view that vertical transmission inevitably selects for beneficial symbionts.

Visual ecology of aphids – a critical review on the role of colours in host finding [PDF]

, 2007
We review the rich literature on behavioural responses of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to stimuli of different colours. Only in one species there are adequate physiological data on spectral sensitivity to explain behaviour crisply in mechanistic terms.

A Quadruped Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Actuating Robot with Foot‐Leg‐Trunk‐Integrated Structure

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel foot‐leg‐trunk‐integrated quadruped piezoelectric ultrasonic actuating robot with small size and lightweight. A hybrid vibration mode combining the first‐order out‐of‐plane bending vibration of the trunk and the first‐order horizontal bending vibration of driving legs is designed to generate elliptical trajectories at foot ...

Early evolvability in arthropod tagmosis exemplified by a new radiodont from the Burgess Shale

Royal Society Open Science
Much diversity in arthropod form is the result of variation in the number and differentiation of segments (tagmosis). Fossil evidence to date has suggested that the earliest-diverging arthropods, the radiodonts, exhibited comparatively limited ...
