Old World and New World Phasmatodea: Phylogenomics Resolve the Evolutionary History of Stick and Leaf Insects

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Phasmatodea comprises over 3,000 extant species and stands out as one of the last remaining insect orders for which a robust, higher-level phylogenetic hypothesis is lacking. New research suggests that the extant diversity is the result of a surprisingly

Advanced Phasmatodea Population Evolution Algorithm for Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2022
Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is difficult to solve by the traditional precise methods in the transportation area. The metaheuristic algorithm is often used to solve CVRP and can obtain approximate optimal solutions.

Parallel molecular routes to cold adaptation in eight genera of New Zealand stick insects. [PDF]

, 2015
The acquisition of physiological strategies to tolerate novel thermal conditions allows organisms to exploit new environments. As a result, thermal tolerance is a key determinant of the global distribution of biodiversity, yet the constraints on its ...

De novo transcriptome analysis of the excretory tubules of Carausius morosus (Phasmatodea) and possible functions of the midgut 'appendices'. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Malpighian tubules are the insect excretory organs, responsible for ion and water homeostasis and elimination of nitrogenous wastes. Post-genomic assays suggest they also metabolize and detoxify xenobiotic compounds and have antimicrobial properties.
