Sex‐Specific Control and Incomplete Matings: Sperm Removal Behavior in a Bush Cricket Species

Ethology, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated which sex influences the duration of sperm removal behaviour (SRB) in the ornate bush cricket, Metaplastes ornatus. Female traits showed a weak effect on SRB duration, and lighter females mated more frequently. Frequent unsuccessful mating terminations shortened SRB indicating high level of sexual conflict.

Phylogenetic reconciliation provides new insights into the evolutionary diversification of the glutamine synthetase gene family in seed plants

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phylogenetic analyses of glutamine synthetase (GS) in seed plants revealed that all three major evolutionary lineages (GS2, GS1a, and GS1b) must have been present in the common ancestor, with GS2 being the first lineage to diverge. Unlike GS1b, GS1a and GS2 are usually single‐copy genes, even though they underwent duplications that resulted in ...

Towards red listing understudied tropical insects: A case study of the dung beetles of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We performed an IUCN Red List assessment for 159 dung beetle species from Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Due to the lack of population demographic data, only Criterion B (i.e. geographic range) could be applied. Our findings show that the IUCN Red List Criteria can be applied to insect species based solely on occurrence data but highlight the importance of ...

Characteristics and genesis of fillings in fracture-cavity space in first member of Permian Maokou Formation, Sichuan Basin: a case study of well A1

Shiyou shiyan dizhi
In recent years, natural gas discoveries have been continuously made in the first member of the Permian Maokou Formation in the Sichuan Basin, bringing attention to the genesis mechanism of marlstone reservoir space. Centimeter-scale fracture-cavity type

Morphology and osteo‐histology of the weigeltisaurid wing: Implications for aerial locomotion in the world's first gliding reptiles

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology and osteo‐histology of the wing skeleton of the world's first gliding reptiles, showing how it differs from those of extant gliding lizards, yet is also convergently similar. These findings pave the way for future biomechanical studies on the gliding locomotion of these emblematic fossil animals. Abstract The Late

Geochemical and Seismic Constraints on the Role of Mud Diapirs in Petroleum Migration and Accumulation in the Recôncavo Basin, NE Brazil

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Recôncavo Basin, Northeast of Brazil, mud diapirs have been reported for decades, but their role within the basin's petroleum system remains poorly constrained. Here, we combine 2D seismic interpretation, field observations, and organic geochemical analyses of rocks and oil seeps to investigate the relationship between diapirism and ...
