ANALYSIS OF TURANIAN SPECIES OF WEEVILS OF DAGESTAN

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2014
. Turan centre is one of the most important and ancient centres of formation of fauna of arid regions, which had a noticeable impact on the genesis of Coleoptera fauna in the Eastern part of the Greater Caucasus.

Reappearance of old growth elements in lowland woodlands in northern Belgium : do the associated species follow? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The forest cover of the western European lowland plain has been very low for centuries. Remaining forests were intensively managed, and old-growth elements like veteran trees and coarse woody debris became virtually absent.

Analyzing the Tribological Combination of Microstructure and Lubricant in Beetle Joints for the Development of Environmentally Friendly Lubricants

open access: yesProceedings
Insects optimize friction in their joints by combining microstructures with a—so far unknown—lubricant. To develop environmentally friendly lubricants, we research the sophisticated tribological system found in the joints of beetles.

The Effects of Insecticide Treated Netting on Male-Female Interactions in Red Flour Beetles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Courtship behaviors take place before and after copulation for the purpose of stimulating the female (Evardsson & Arnqvist 2000). Females will mate with different males within minutes of the first copulation (Pai &Yan 2003), with males showing a ...

Development and Characterization of ZnO‐Filled and Maleic Anhydride‐Compatibilized PP/SEBS Blends for 3D‐Printing Filaments

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
PP/SEBS/MA/ZnO filaments produced by bench‐top single‐screw extrusion show refined morphology, increased crystallinity, improved thermal robustness, and preliminary FFF printability, demonstrating a practical route for functional filament development. ABSTRACT Currently, single‐screw extrusion offers a versatile and accessible route to produce polymer ...

Genetic Effects on Aggregation Behavior of Beetles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Aggregations of insects can often cause problems because they consume large amounts of resources. Species like the Red Flour Beetle are particularly damaging because they can invade locations where humans store food (Lles 2018). Interestingly, different

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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.

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...
