Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and
