Mating order and reproductive success in male Columbian ground squirrels (Urocitellus columbianus) [PDF]

, 2017
Multiple mating by females is common in many mammalian species, often resulting in mixed paternity litters. In such mating systems, mating order, male age, and male body mass frequently play an important role in determining male reproductive success.

The mitochondrial genomes of Panorpidae: sequence, structure and phylogenetic analysis

, 2020
Abstract Background: Mitochondrial genomes play a significant role in reconstructing phylogenetic relationships and revealing molecular evolution in insects. However, only two species of Panorpidae have been documented for mitochondrial genomes in Mecoptera to date.Results: We obtained complete mitochondrial genomes of 17 species of Panorpidae.

A dataset on the distribution of genus Panorpa (Mecoptera, Panorpidae) in the forest and forest-steppe zones of European Russia

Acta Biologica Sibirica
Among all insects, the order Mecoptera is the least studied in European Russia. Among this order, the small family Panorpidae stands out, the species of which are found mainly in forest ecosystems. In order to fill this gap, during 2008, 2009, 2011, 2015,

Death Feigning in Larvae of Scorpionflies (Mecoptera: Panorpidae): Frequency and Postural Changes Based on Larval Instars [PDF]

Death feigning is thought to have evolved primarily as a predator avoidance behavior, and has been reported in 10 of the 31 orders of insects. However, there have been no reports of death-feigning behavior in Mecoptera species.
