Understanding how species survive at their poleward limits of distribution is of interest in species conservation, particularly in light of global warming and predictions of shifting distributions of both predators and prey species. How species adapt to high latitudes and to future climate changes will be impacted both by direct interactions with the ...

Patterns of morphological evolution in the raptorial appendages of praying mantises
This study traces changes in the morphology of the forelegs across fossil and extant dictyopterans to understand their evolution from cursorial limbs to the raptorial morphologies of mantodeans. Two new mantodean specimens preserved in amber are described herein.
