The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Enamel-like apatite crown covering amorphous mineral in a crayfish mandible

open access: yesNature Communications, 2012
Carbonated hydroxyapatite is the mineral found in vertebrate bones and teeth, whereas invertebrates utilize calcium carbonate in their mineralized organs. In particular, stable amorphous calcium carbonate is found in many crustaceans.

Localization of Lupoid Leishmaniasis on the face: A case control study

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 653-657, June 2024.
Abstract Background In Lupoid Leishmaniasis, erythematous to brown papules often occur around a central old scar, which can expand over time. For unclear reasons, these lesions tend to develop on the facial area. Objectives This study was conducted to study the distribution of Lupoid Leishmaniasis lesions on the face and compare them with those of ...

Subdivision of arthropod cap-n-collar expression domains is restricted to Mandibulata

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2014
The monophyly of Mandibulata - the division of arthropods uniting pancrustaceans and myriapods - is consistent with several morphological characters, such as the presence of sensory appendages called antennae and the eponymous biting appendage, the ...

Mouthpart morphology and wild diet of zoeae of the ghost shrimp, Nihonotrypaea harmandi (Decapoda: Axiidea: Callianassidae)

open access: yes, 2014
To infer diet and feeding mode of zoea of Nihonotrypaea harmandi (Bouvier, 1901), fine functional morphology of the mouthparts and composition of undigested remnants of ingested prey organisms contained in the gut were investigated. A mesh-like structure

Francisella–Arthropod Vector Interaction and its Role in Patho-Adaptation to Infect Mammals

open access: yesFront. Microbio., 2011
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative, intracellular, zoonotic bacterium, and is the causative agent of tularemia with a broad host range. Arthropods such as ticks, mosquitoes, and flies maintain F.

A modern type of ant-like stone beetle larva preserved in 99-million-year-old Kachin amber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Scydmaeninae, the group of ant-like stone beetles, was previously named “Scydmaenidae”, but is today recognized as an ingroup of Staphylinidae. The group has a more or less global distribution and includes 4,900 formally described species.
