A checklist of chromosome numbers and a review of karyotype variation in Odonata of the world
The ancient insect order Odonata is divided into three suborders: Anisoptera and Zygoptera with approximately 3000 species worldwide each, and Anisozygoptera with only four extant species in the relict family Epiophlebiidae.

Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

Experimental method for 3D reconstruction of Odonata wings (methodology and dataset)
Insect wings are highly evolved structures with aerodynamic and structural properties that are not fully understood or systematically modeled. Most species in the insect order Odonata have permanently deployed high aspect ratio wings.

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Identifying the most effective criterion to assess the conservation status of vulnerable species in threatened tropical regions is crucial to evaluate recovery plans. We investigated the influence of environmental heterogeneity on the extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupied habitat (AOH), and density variation of two Amazonian riparian frog ...
