Current Biology, 2011 Polyphenism is the phenomenon where two or more distinct phenotypes are produced by the same genotype. Examples of polyphenism provide some of the most compelling systems for the study of epigenetics. Polyphenisms are a major reason for the success of the insects, allowing them to partition life history stages (with larvae dedicated to feeding and ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 The question of consciousness in other species, not least species very physically different from humans such as insects, is highly challenging for a number of reasons. One reason is that we do not have any available empirical method to answer the question.

, 2018 Sex pheromones in insects are important cues for species recognition, gender identification and partner evaluation. In insects, males as well as females can be the signalers and receivers, and the pheromones can be volatile or contact chemical cues, which are integrated to reinforce or refine selection of the right mating partner.

Evolutionarily conserved elements in vertebrate, insect, worm, and yeast genomes.
Genome Research, 2005 We have conducted a comprehensive search for conserved elements in vertebrate genomes, using genome-wide multiple alignments of five vertebrate species (human, mouse, rat, chicken, and Fugu rubripes).

More than 75 percent decline over 27 years in total flying insect biomass in protected areas
PLoS ONE, 2017 Global declines in insects have sparked wide interest among scientists, politicians, and the general public. Loss of insect diversity and abundance is expected to provoke cascading effects on food webs and to jeopardize ecosystem services.
