Seven new records of Mantids (Insecta: Mantodea) for Alborz Mountain, (Tehran Province) Iran [PDF]
There are few papers about the fauna of the mantids in Iran and should be considered as poorly known taxon in Iran. New faunistic records of 10 species of mantids for the fauna of Iran are presented. Seven species- Empusa fasciata, E.

Mating behavior of the Persian boxer mantid, Holaptilon brevipugilis (Mantodea: Mantidae) [PDF]
The Persian boxer mantid, Holaptilon brevipugilis, is the mantid most recently described from Iran. Here, I present some aspects of the courtship display and mating behavior of this species. I conducted 28 mating trials, quantified the relative frequency

Using surface environmental DNA to assess arthropod biodiversity within a forested ecosystem
We collected 40 eDNA samples from tree bark and understory foliage in a New Jersey, USA forest. Metabarcoding with two primer sets revealed over 1000 arthropod MOTUs from which we identified 292 species, 181 families, and 28 orders. Our work provides proof‐of‐concept evidence that surface eDNA surveys of terrestrial arthropod communities are feasible ...

The central complex is an insect brain area controlling goal‐directed orientation. Comparative analysis of insect species ranging from firebrats to flies reveals two bilateral pairs of serotonin‐immunoreactive neurons innervating the central complex in all neopteran species and two additional pairs of neurons in flies and butterflies.

Variation among arthropod taxa in the amino acid content of exoskeleton and digestible tissue
Exoskeleton is a ubiquitous component of arthropods, which many consumers cannot digest. Arthropod exoskeleton differs from digestible tissue in amino acid balance and content. Amino acid balance and content also vary considerably among arthropod taxa.

ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.
