The Blattodea s.s. (Insecta, Dictyoptera) of the Guiana Shield

ZooKeys, 2015
Here we provide a checklist of cockroach species known from areas within the Guiana Shield based on literature records and new field collection. We give records of sixteen species collected in Guyana, eight of which are new records for Guyana and one of which is a new generic record for the entire Guiana Shield.

The evolutionary history of praying mantises (Dictyoptera, Mantodea)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
A phylogenomic analysis of 51 species spanning 14 superfamilies recovers Chaeteessoidea as sister to all remaining praying mantises, confirming its thoracic musculature and foreleg morphology as ancestral traits. The placement of Metallyticoidea remains ambiguous, yielding conflicting signals; within higher lineages, traditional families prove ...

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

In good form: Morphological adaptations to burrowing lifestyles in cockroaches (Dictyoptera: Blattodea)

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2860-2875, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Investigating forms specialized for their ecology (i.e. ecomorphs) is a major theme in ecology and evolution. Among the remarkable ecomorphs, those associated with fossorial habits have received increasing attention in vertebrates, but less so in invertebrates. Here, we
