First Records of the Genus Holaptilon (Mantodea: Gonypetidae: Gonypetinae) from Pakistan and Iraq Based on Citizen Science Observations [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایرانThe dwarf mantid genus Holaptilon Beier, 1964, is a group of small, apterous, ground-dwelling mantids distributed across the Middle East, with species described mainly from Israel, Jordan, Iran, and Turkey. Here, I present the first records of Holaptilon

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Controlled syntheses of lanthanide coordination polymers based on the dihydroxybenzoquinone (DHBQ) organic linker afforded large single crystals of Ln‐DHBQ CPs (Ln = Yb, Nd). A novel structural variant of Yb‐DHBQ is identified by means of single crystal diffraction analysis.

Discovery of a lipid synthesising organ in the auditory system of an insect [PDF]
, 2012 Weta possess typical Ensifera ears. Each ear comprises three functional parts: two equally sized tympanal membranes, an underlying system of modified tracheal chambers, and the auditory sensory organ, the crista acustica.

New Paleogene mantises from the Oise amber and their evolutionary importance [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 Mantodea are rather scarce in the fossil record, especially those belonging to the mantise crown group. Four fossil mantids are described from the lowermost Eocene amber of Oise (France), two Chaeteessidae considered as “genus and species incertae sedis”,

Fast‐Responding O2 Gas Sensor Based on Luminescent Europium Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOF‐76)
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Luminescent MOF‐76 materials based on Eu(III) and mixed Eu(III)/Y(III) show rapid and reversible changes in emission intensity in response to O2 with very short response times. The effect is based on triplet quenching of the linker ligands that act as photosensitizers. Average emission lifetimes of a few milliseconds turn out to be mostly unaffected by

The roles of visual parallax and edge attraction in the foraging behaviour of the butterfly Papilio xuthus. [PDF]
, 2015 Several examples of insects using visual motion to measure distance have been documented, from locusts peering to gauge the proximity of prey, to honeybees performing visual odometry en route between the hive and a flower patch.

Bayesian Inference in MANTID – An Update
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2018 In the context of neutron science, Bayesian inference methods have been recently implemented within the MANTID framework [Monserrat D et al. 2015 J. Phys. Conf. Ser. 663 012009 (2015)]. In this contribution, we highlight the advantages of this software package for robust data analysis and subsequent model selection.
