Functional diversity and trade‐offs in divergent antipredator morphologies in herbivorous insects
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 5089-5096, June 2020., 2020 We revealed defensive function of dorsal spines and explanate margins in Cassidinae leaf beetles and detected functional trade‐offs. These results suggest that adaptation to different predatory regimes and functional trade‐offs contribute to the diversification of external morphologies in herbivorous insects.

New data on the digger wasps fauna of families Pemphredonidae, Psenidae and Philanthidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) in Iran [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2020 The digger wasps fauna (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) of Fars province in southern Iran was partly investigated. Members of three families: Pemphredonidae (5 species of 3 genera), Psenidae (3 species of 2 genera) and Philanthidae (2 species of 2 genera) were ...

Prey carriage varies with prey size in Cerceris fumipennis (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae)
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2015 Exploitation of the hunting behavior of the solitary wasp Cerceris fumipennis is proving to be a useful method for detecting pest Buprestidae as well as for documenting buprestid diversity in eastern North America. Here we review prey carriage mechanisms

Bi-directional route learning in wood ants [PDF]
, 2006 Some ants and bees readily learn visually guided routes between their nests and feeding sites. They can learn the appearance of visual landmarks for the food-bound or homeward segment of the route when these landmarks are only present during that ...
