The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 715-728, August 2026.Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

Arthropod diversity in Iran: Class Diplopoda Blainville in Gervais, 1844 [PDF]
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and SystematicsFormally, the diplopod fauna of Iran presently contains 54 species from 27 genera, 13 families and eight orders, all listed and supplied with nomenclature, diversity estimates and known species records. Endemism is profound at the species level (CA 80%),

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

ParaHox Genes Revisited: From Gut Patterning to Integrated Axial and Neural Organization in Rotifera
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 4, Page 357-369, June 2026.In rotifers, ParaHox genes show a dispersed genomic organization, with Xlox absent across gnathiferans. Exclusive neuronal expression of Gsx and Cdx reveals that ancestral ParaHox genes coordinated neural and epithelial development beyond gut patterning, suggesting an integrated role in early bilaterian body plan organization.

The ultimate legs of Chilopoda (Myriapoda): a review on their morphological disparity and functional variability [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The arthropodium is the key innovation of arthropods. Its various modifications are the outcome of multiple evolutionary transformations, and the foundation of nearly endless functional possibilities.
