Morphology and Material Composition of the Mouthparts of Stromatium unicolor Olivier 1795 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) for Bionic Application [PDF]
, 2020 The novelty of this study is the deep analysis of the morphologic, geometric and mechanical performance of longhorn beetle larvae mouthparts. Furthermore, a metal nano identification of jaw reinforced parts was made.

Insect Science, EarlyView.We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.

New extreme morphologies as exemplified by 100 million-year-old lacewing larvae [PDF]
, 2021 Larvae of the group Holometabola (beetles, wasps, flies, moths and others) differ significantly in their morphology from their corresponding adults. In most larvae, appendages and other structures protruding from the body (antennae, palps, legs, trunk ...

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 ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 590-599, November 2025.Eusphalerum, an understudied beetle pollinator in North America, comprises over 50% of beetle specimens collected using flight‐intercept traps in forests across New Brunswick, Canada. In a study investigating its phenology, congeneric aggregation and population dynamics, we demonstrated that Eusphalerum exhibits unique phenology distinct from other ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 9, September 2025.In the insect order Strepsiptera, we identified a paragenital organ in the family Stylopidae that serves as a secondary genital organ for traumatic insemination. We show that the cuticle at the penetration sites is thickened in all species studied, relative to control sites.

Consumer or Decomposer? Behavioral and Morphological Diagnosis of White Grubs
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.Determining the ecological role of insect larvae is crucial for pest control and resource utilization, relying on effective behavioral or morphological identification traits. This study uses an improved six‐armed olfactometer to analyze the feeding habits of two sympatric white grubs and the correlated morphological traits, including the sensory ...

Ökomorphologie : Integration von Form, Funktion und Ökologie bei der Analyse morphologischer Strukturen [PDF]
, 2008 Organisms are complex entities whose study has necessitated an increasingly reductionistic stance in modern biology (CAPLAN 1987). As a consequence, biology as a science has been split up into numerous sub-disciplines.
