Phasmatodea Jacobson & Bianchi 1902
, 2023 Phasmatodea general information The Phasmatodea are known as leaf or stick insects (in Brazil, they are popularly known as bicho-pau). They can be recognized by their leafy body or by the slender body in the case of those species that resemble sticks. However, there are several cases (e.g., Pseudophasmatidae) that do not follow these two patterns.

Novitates Caribaea, 2020 The new Hesperophasmatini–genus Sigaruphasma gen. nov. from Hispaniola is described and illustrated. It is remarkable for violating several of the previously stated diagnostic features of the tribe Hesperophasmatini Bradley and Galil, 1977.

Herbivory increases diversification across insect clades. [PDF]
, 2015 Insects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned

Analysis of the gut microbiota of walking sticks (Phasmatodea) [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2013 Abstract Background Little is known about the Phasmatodea gut microbial community, including whether phasmids have symbiotic bacteria aiding in their digestion. While symbionts are near ubiquitous in herbivorous insects, the Phasmatodea’s distinctively thin body shape precludes the gut enlargements needed for ...

Lista de especies y clave ilustrada de los géneros de Phasmatodea (Insecta) de México
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018 El orden Phasmatodea ha sido poco estudiado en México y no existe un trabajo formal que enliste las especies presentes en el país, o una clave de determinación taxonómica que permita la identificación a nivel genérico.

The Draft Genome of the Invasive Walking Stick, Medauroidea extradendata, Reveals Extensive Lineage-Specific Gene Family Expansions of Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes in Phasmatodea. [PDF]
, 2018 Plant cell wall components are the most abundant macromolecules on Earth. The study of the breakdown of these molecules is thus a central question in biology.

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 Stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) are exclusively herbivores. As they settle in a broad range of habitats, they need to attach to and walk on a wide variety of plant substrates, which can vary in their surface free energy (SFE).

Neurons of self-defence: neuronal innervation of the exocrine defence glands in stick insects [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Stick insects (Phasmatodea) use repellent chemical substances (allomones) for defence which are released from so-called defence glands in the prothorax. These glands differ in size between species, and are under neuronal control from the CNS.
