Filtration of Nutritional Fluids in the German Wasp Vespula germanica (Vespidae, Hymenoptera)
Insects, 2022 The mouthparts of Vespidae have evolved to forage various solid and liquid foods, such as animal prey, carbohydrate-rich fluids, as well as woody fibres for nest construction. Before nutritional fluids are ingested into the crop, bigger particles need to

A mosquito mouthpart-like bionic neural probe
Microsystems & Nanoengineering, 2023 AbstractAdvancements in microscale electrode technology have revolutionized the field of neuroscience and clinical applications by offering high temporal and spatial resolution of recording and stimulation. Flexible neural probes, with their mechanical compliance to brain tissue, have been shown to be superior to rigid devices in terms of stability and

Palaeozoic evolution of animal mouthparts [PDF]
Bulletin of Geosciences, 2017 During the Palaeozoic, a diversification in modes of life occurred that included a wide range of predators. Major macroecological events include the Cambrian Explosion (including the Agronomic Substrate Revolution and the here introduced ’Ediacaran-Cambrian Mouthpart Armament’), the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, the Palaeozoic Plankton ...

Mouthpart palp sensilla of basal Trichoptera families
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 2023 A comparative SEM study of palp sensory surfaces in 25 caddisfly species representing seven families reveals seven types of sensilla: long trichoid, blunt chaetoid, campaniform, mushroom-like pseudoplacoid, petaloid, thick basiconic and thin basiconic sensilla.
