Light and Hydrogen Peroxide Inhibit C. elegans Feeding through Gustatory Receptor Orthologs and Pharyngeal Neurons [PDF]
, 2014 While gustatory sensing of the five primary flavors (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory) has been extensively studied, pathways that detect non-canonical taste stimuli remain relatively unexplored.

Palaeontology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 547-559, July 2019., 2019 Abstract Hatching is a pivotal moment in the life of most animals. Diverse chemical, behavioural and mechanical methods have evolved in metazoans to break the egg membranes. Among them, many arthropod and vertebrate embryos hatch using ephemeral, frequently convergent structures known as egg bursters.

TURQUOISE JAY (CYANOLYCA TURCOSA) SELF-ANOINTING (ANTING) WITH A MILLIPEDE [PDF]
, 2023 Self-anointing has been documented in birds worldwide, including corvids. In self-anointing (active anting), birds rub ants or ant substitutes, such as millipedes, over their feathers.

It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature: Functional Materials in Insects
Advanced Materials, Volume 30, Issue 19, May 10, 2018., 2018 Insects have evolved manifold optimized solutions to everyday problems. The diversity and precision of their hierarchical material adaptations often outsmart and outperform current man‐made approaches. These materials hence provide an excellent basis for the inspiration of new technological approaches by taking design cues from nature's solutions ...

Ant‐Associated Beetle Fauna in Bulgaria: A Review and New Data
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The rich myrmecofauna in Bulgaria, comprising about 170 species, constitutes favorable settings for a diverse associated fauna. An attempt to summarize the fragmented faunal data on this ecological group in Bulgaria, together with inclusion of new data, has resulted in a comprehensive list of 121 beetle species from 14 families, obligate or facultative

Wildlife Biology, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 61-69, March 2008., 2008 Abstract Many researchers use bridges as search sites to monitor freshwater otter species along watercourses. Bridges enable rapid and easy access to their habitat, but for most otter species little is known on whether these anthropogenic structures affect their distribution, their marking preferences, and consequently, the ability of such surveys to ...
