Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

Phylogeny and age of cockroaches: a reanalysis of mitogenomes with selective fossil calibrations [PDF]
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 2022 In spite of big data and new techniques, the phylogeny and timing of cockroaches remain in dispute. Apart from sequencing more species, an alternative way to improve the phylogenetic inference and time estimation is to improve the quality of data ...

Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAdults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.
