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.

Intraspecific Signals Inducing Aggregation in Periplaneta americana (Insecta: Dictyoptera) [PDF]
Environmental Entomology, 2015 Chemical communication is necessary to induce aggregation and to maintain the cohesion of aggregates in Periplaneta americana (L.) cockroaches. We aimed to identify the chemical message inducing aggregation in this species. Two types of bioassays were used-binary choice tests in Petri dishes and tests in Y-olfactometer.

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
