Fight, retreat, repeat: The male-male agonistic behavior in the wood-feeding cockroach, Panesthia angustipennis spadica (Dictyoptera: Blattodea: Blaberidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolIt is the report of the wild male–male agonistic behavior in Panesthia angustipennis. Its fighting has remarkable characteristics, both aggressiveness and avoidance. Abstract Competition is one of the most critical factors affecting animal behaviors. Aggressive interactions are central to acquiring resources or mating partners.

Patterns of morphological evolution in the raptorial appendages of praying mantises. [PDF]
Insect SciThis study traces changes in the morphology of the forelegs across fossil and extant dictyopterans to understand their evolution from cursorial limbs to the raptorial morphologies of mantodeans. Two new mantodean specimens preserved in amber are described herein.

Comparative Morphology of the Extrinsic and Intrinsic Leg Musculature in Dictyoptera (Insecta: Blattodea, Mantodea). [PDF]
J MorpholWe analyzed the morphology of all pairs of legs in Mantodea and its closest sister‐group—the Blattodea—using high‐resolution microcomputed tomography and dissection. Thereby, we updated the blattodean morphology and revealed a shared musculature set‐up in all pairs of legs among later‐branching mantodeans, and several differences in comparison to ...

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 615-633, December 2023., 2023 Comprehensive analysis of adipokinetic hormone gene evolution in Blattodea. Discovery of a novel group of decapeptides that are unique to Blaberoidea. Adipokinetic hormone receptor genes broadly reflect accepted blattodean relationships. Abstract Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a neuropeptide produced in the insect corpora cardiaca that plays an ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 531, Issue 14, Page 1482-1508, October 2023., 2023 The central complex is an insect brain area controlling goal‐directed orientation. Comparative analysis of insect species ranging from firebrats to flies reveals two bilateral pairs of serotonin‐immunoreactive neurons innervating the central complex in all neopteran species and two additional pairs of neurons in flies and butterflies.
