Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

It's Complicated: How Sex, Family, and Season Affect Growth of a Sexually Size Dimorphic Spider
Extreme female‐biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in Nephilingis cruentata emerges when male and female growth trajectories diverge mid‐development. Seasonal effects influence both sexes similarly, but family effects are strongly sex‐specific. These patterns identify a critical developmental window for mechanistic studies of SSD.

ABSTRACT Weapons are morphological structures used by animals in various contexts, especially in intra‐specific contests and visual displays. In snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus, particularly the monogamous species Alpheus brasileiro, both sexes bear enlarged chelipeds, potentially conferring advantages in mate competition or territorial defence ...
