The primary structure of mantid opsin

Gene, 1994
The sequence encoding opsin from the mantid Sphodromantis sp. has been determined by dideoxynucleotide sequencing of PCR products from a cDNA derived from eye cup tissue. The 376-amino-acid (aa) residues show approx. 56% identity and 85% similarity to known insect opsins (Drosophila melanogaster and Calliphora erythrocephala).

CAPA-peptides of praying mantids (Mantodea)

Peptides, 2010
Dictyoptera which consist of cockroaches, termites, and praying mantids are among the oldest pterygote insects known. Whereas the localization and sequences of neuropeptides from a number of cockroaches are very well known, nearly nothing is known about the neuropeptides typical of praying mantids.

Saccadic head movements in mantids

Journal of Comparative Physiology ? A, 1977
1. Mantids visually orient to prey objects by means of rapid saccadic head movements which serve to image the target on the anterior regions of the large compound eyes. Small stationary flashes of light subtending 30′ of arc were used to elicit head movements. The topography of the saccade was studied by photographic and optoelectronic analysis.

The charismatic praying mantid: A gateway for insect conservation

African Zoology, 2020
Praying mantids (Mantodea) are not only apex predators with a ‘mystical’ status, but are also regarded as a kind of oracle and, in some cultures, as omens associated with good or bad. In the future, the cultural, mystical and religious values allocated to mantids over millennia can contribute not only to their own conservation, but also to conservation

Nocturnal Calling Behavior in Mantids

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2005
Females of Mantis religiosa and Empusa pennata were video taped for several 24 h periods to determine if they showed behaviors associated with pheromone release. In the photophase the abdomen of both species was motionless and rested in continuous contact with the wings. However, at the beginning of the scotophase the females bent the abdomen ventrally

Alien mantids in Tuscany (Mantodea)

2023
The first records of the alien species Hierodula tenuidentata Saussure, 1869 for Tuscany are provided through a specimen collected near Pistoia and another one observed in Florence. Another alien mantis is here quoted for Tuscany, namely H. patellifera Serville, 1839.

The mantids of Caucasus.

2008
The male of Hierodula trancaucasica Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878, is described here. The external morphology and shape of genitalia are analysed. A comparison with previous data and some biogeographical considerations on Paramantini are given.
