Balcus violaceus (Fabricius) : senior synonym of Balcus niger Sharp and B. signatus Broun (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) [PDF]
The elytra of Balcus signatus Broun (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) from New Zealand have pale markings. Such markings, most prominently found in females, represent intraspecific variations of Balcus violaceus (Fabricius).

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Mitochondrial genomes provide insights into the Euholognatha (Insecta: Plecoptera)
Background Euholognatha is a monophyletic group within stoneflies comprised by a superfamily Nemouroidea and a family Scopuridae. Based on morphological data, the family-level phylogenetic relationships within Euholognatha are widely accepted, but there ...

Microbialites are common throughout the rock record and key to our understanding of Earth history, yet a relatively common microscopy technique—cathodoluminescence (CL)—has not previously been leveraged to understand them. In this contribution, we examine microbialites of varying ages (modern to Proterozoic) with CL and report on the patterns and ...

Recently Evolved, Stage‐Specific Genes Are Enriched at Life‐Stage Transitions in Flies
We discovered that 20%–30% of protein‐coding genes in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti are only expressed during specific stages of development. Surprisingly, many of these stage‐specific genes are newly evolved, unique to flies and mosquitoes, shedding light on how insect development has evolved over time.
