Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Accurate identification of the species of Anopheles Meigen, 1818 requires careful examination of all life stages. However, morphological characters, especially those of the females and fourth-instar larvae, show some degree of polymorphism and

Increased adaptability to rapid environmental change can more than make up for the two-fold cost of males [PDF]
, 2018 The famous "two-fold cost of sex" is really the cost of anisogamy -- why should females mate with males who do not contribute resources to offspring, rather than isogamous partners who contribute equally? In typical anisogamous populations, a single very fit male can have an enormous number of offspring, far larger than is possible for any female or ...

Co-Evolution of the Mating Position and Male Genitalia in Insects: A Case Study of a Hangingfly
PLoS ONE, 2013 Hangingflies are unique for the male providing a nuptial gift to the female during mating and taking a face-to-face hanging copulation with the female.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a paper‐based biodegradable, humidity‐insensitive e‐nose for real‐time breath analysis, addressing challenges in existing technologies such as humidity interference, high costs, and environmental impact. Featuring hydrophobic polymer coatings, these sensors reliably detect VOCs even in high‐moisture environments.

Quantitative genetic insights into the coevolutionary dynamics of male and female genitalia
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 The spectacular variability that typically characterizes male genital traits has largely been attributed to the role of sexual selection. Among the evolutionary mechanisms proposed to account for this diversity, two processes in particular have generated

Smart Dust for Chemical Mapping
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review article explores the advancement of smart dust networks for high‐resolution spatial and temporal chemical mapping. Comprising miniature, wireless sensors, and communication devices, smart dust autonomously collects, processes, and transmits data via swarm‐based communication.

Evolution of female choice and age-dependent male traits with paternal germ-line mutation [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Several studies question the adaptive value of female preferences for older males. Theory and evidence show that older males carry more deleterious mutations in their sperm than younger males carry. These mutations are not visible to females choosing mates.

, 2013 The genitalia of male ants are interpreted in the context of the broader Hymenoptera. For the first time muscle homologies are established for twenty six species of ants in nine subfamilies: Amblyoponinae, Cerapachyinae, Dolichoderinae, Ecitoninae ...
