The spreading of parasites by human migratory activities
The global spread of parasites is unquestionably linked with human activities. Migration in all its different forms played a major role in the introduction of parasites into new areas. In ancient times, mass migrations were the main causes for the spread

A Synthesized Neural Control System for Bioinspired Robots to Achieve Diverse Locomotion
A novel hexapod robot named RENS H2 based on the synthesized neural control system. The control system is constructed based on the central pattern generator and virtual motoneurons network, serving as the foundation of the behavioral network. It encompasses omnidirectional movement, regulation of motor neuron intensity, sensorimotor integration, local ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Many active principles produced by animals, plants and microorganisms have been employed in the development of new drugs to treat diseases such as cancer. Among the animals that produce pharmacologically active molecules capable of interfering in human cellular physiology, the highlights are venomous arthropods, such as scorpions, bees, wasps, spiders,
