Evaluation of BugBox, a software platform for AI‐assisted bioinventories of arthropods
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The BugBox artificial intelligence platform performed reliably on coarse biodiversity analysis of agrobiont arthropods, even while its models were still being developed and trained. This gives scientists the ability to conduct large‐scale bioinventories rapidly, to inform growers and policymakers on environmental issues in a timely fashion.

Homologization of the Flight Musculature of Zygoptera (Insecta: Odonata) and Neoptera (Insecta)
PLoS ONE, 2013 Among the winged insects (Pterygota) the Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) are unique for several reasons. Behaviourally they are aerial predators that hunt and catch their prey in flight, only. Morphologically the flight apparatus of Odonata is significantly different from what is found in the remaining Pterygota.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
