Proteomic diversification of spermatostyles among six species of whirligig beetles
Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2024.Whirligig beetle sperm travel cooperatively through the female reproductive tract attached to a spermatostyle, a poorly studied rod‐like structure. Proteome characterization revealed that spermatostyles are comprised of a restricted set of proteases and possess catalytic activity.

Endothermy in African Platypleurine Cicadas: the influence of body size and habitat (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]
, 2004 The platypleurine cicadas have a wide distribution across Africa and southern Asia. We investigate endothermy as a thermoregulatory strategy in 11 South African species from five genera, with comparisons to the lone ectothermic platypleurine we found, in
