ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles
We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.

Abstract Ambiguity over the features that differentiate two nominal species of baetid mayflies, Cloeon paradieniense Suter and C. tasmaniae Tillyard, in southeast Australia led to a detailed analysis of the morphology and meristics of specimens from Victoria, South Australia and, in particular, Tasmania, where both species have been reported.
