Comparative morphological trade-offs between pre- and post-copulatory sexual selection in Giant hissing cockroaches (Tribe: Gromphadorhini) [PDF]

, 2016
Sperm competition theory predicts that animals face a trade-off between investment in weaponry and investment in ejaculate composition. Within the Madagascan giant hissing cockroaches (Tribe Gromphadorhini) differences in morphology exist that may ...

Paleopteran molecular clock: Time drift and recent acceleration

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Constant evolution rates, which form the foundation of the strict molecular clock model, do not apply in the case of Paleoptera, highlighting a notable bias in the molecular clock hypothesis. The current biodiversity may be the outcome of a relatively recent, exponential increase in base substitution rates.

A new cockroach (Blattodea, Rhipidoblattinidae) from the Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of Alderton Hill, Gloucestershire, UK, and the earliest likely occurrence of aposematic colouration in cockroaches

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract We describe the seventh valid species of cockroach, Alderblattina simmsi gen. et sp. nov., from insect‐rich strata recording the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T‐OAE). The T‐OAE represents a period of extreme global warming and environmental change that drove palaeoecological pressures and evolutionary changes in marine and terrestrial ...

Patterns of aerial arthropod biomass and diversity from three regions of boreal Alaska

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 826-855, September 2024.
We documented aerial arthropod biomass and diversity over 4 years in three regions in boreal Alaska—two in central Alaska and one in southcentral Alaska. Traps yielded 115,078 specimens of 15 orders and 692 unique taxa. Mean aerial arthropod biomass was more than three times higher in Fairbanks than in Anchorage.

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Preliminary results of forest cockroaches inventoried: Decomposers of litter in Northeast Algerian forests

Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2016
Cockroaches are species that live at night and shelter in places that provide a suitable microclimate and allow them to have easy access to food. The inventory of African species is far from complete.
