Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for

Diurnal patterns of postfeeding larval dispersal in carrion blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 A study of the diurnal rhythms in the postfeeding dispersal of the larvae of two coexisting carrion blowfly species, Calliphora vomitoria and Lucilia caesar, from corpses was conducted in the field.

Silk Investment in Gifts By Males of the Nuptial Feeding Spider Pisaura Mirabilis (Araneae: Pisauridae). [PDF]
, 1996 Adult males of the hunting spider Pisaura mirabilis wrap up prey with silk and pass these nuptial gifts to females prior to copulation. The females digest the nuptial gifts, including the silk, during mating.

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Effects of ante-mortem use of methadone on insect succession patterns
Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2021 Background Evaluation of insect succession patterns is a scientific method to estimate the time elapsed since death. Several studies have shown that ante-mortem intake of opioids affect maggot growth rate.

A comparison of visual and haltere-mediated equilibrium reflexes in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2003 Flies exhibit extraordinary maneuverability, relying on feedback from multiple sensory organs to control flight. Both the compound eyes and the mechanosensory halteres encode angular motion as the fly rotates about the three body axes during flight ...

Allometry of Ingestion Among Habitat Mimicking Praying Mantises
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigate the allometry of ingestion among habitat mimicking praying mantises. We found strong relations to body size, but not camouflage. We compare our results to handling time in other predatory groups. ABSTRACT Ingestion is the process of consuming a resource and is a component of an organism's handling time, which can limit the acquisition of

Angular sensitivity of blowfly photoreceptors: intracellular measurements and wave-optical predictions [PDF]
, 1984 The angular sensitivity of blowfly photoreceptors was measured in detail at wavelengths λ = 355, 494 and 588 nm. The measured curves often showed numerous sidebands, indicating the importance of diffraction by the facet lens.
