Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.

Phylogenomics and the evolution of larval feeding habits in the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.Phylogenomic data from anchored hybrid enrichment provide a new phylogeny of Calliphoridae that delimits the family and confirms division into eight monophyletic subfamilies. Fossil‐calibrated divergence times place the origin of Calliphoridae in the mid‐Eocene (ca. 41 Mya) along with other rapidly radiating families of oestroid Diptera. Reconstruction
