Inventory of Praying Mantis (Mantodea) in Serdang Menang Village, Sirah Pulau Padang Sub-district, Ogan Komering Ilir District

open access: yes, 2018
Praying mantis included in the Mantodea order have good adaptations with camouflage and mimicry. The existence of a praying mantis in an ecosystem can help in controlling dangerous insect populations.

Review of the genera Glabromantis, Paraoxypilus and Phthersigena (Mantodea: Nanomantidae: Fulciniinae)

open access: yesRecords of the Australian Museum
Three genera of the mantis subfamily Fulciniinae (Mantodea: Nanomantidae: Fuliciniinae) are revised. In the genus Glabromantis two species are recognized, in Paraoxypilus five species and in Phthersigena one species is recognized. The genus Myrmecomantis

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2298-2314, September 2026.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Siral‐HPW‐Supported Pd and Ru Catalysts Evaluation for Glycerol Upgrading

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 35, 15 September 2026.
MSiralHPW (M = Ru, Pd, and PdRu) catalysts are active in glycerol hydrogenolysis. Metal (Ru > Pd) and precursor (Cl− > NO3−) influences were verified. Promoting effect of RuO2 reduction by Pd did not influence the metallic dispersion. Residual chlorine promoted acidic sites suitable for the formation of 1,3‐PDO.

LABORATORY STUDIES ON THE EGYPTIAN PRAYING MANTIS Miomantis paykullii STAL, (MANTODEA: MANTIDAE) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2012
Certain biological aspects of the Egyptian praying mantis Miomantis paykullii (Stal, 1871) were studied in the laboratory. Results indicated that ootheca contained an average of 52.4 nymphs, with a mean length of 15.0 mm.

Regulating Copper Nuclearity in Metal–Organic Frameworks for the Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide

open access: yesSmall Methods, Volume 10, Issue 18, 23 September 2026.
CO2 hydrogenation on Cu‐metalated MOFs at gas–solid and liquid–solid interfaces depend strongly on the nuclearity of the Cu, which can be adjusted via the density of defects and the synthesis process. In both reaction regimes, methanol formation is favored on Cu clusters rather than on isolated Cu sites, highlighting the critical role of metal ...

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 377-396, September 2026.
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Effect of Solvent Hydrogen‐Bonding and Catalyst Pore Size on Catalytic Oxidation of Benzylic Alcohols

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Selective benzylic alcohol oxidation using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is catalyzed by an array of Ti‐silica materials. Sulfolane solvent strongly interacts with the reactant and enhances rates versus acetonitrile solvent in wide pore materials, but negative transport effects dominate in smaller‐pore materials. Partially overcoated catalysts stabilize the

Imidazolium Modified UiO‐67 Metal‐Organic Frameworks for CO2 Adsorption

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 23, 13 August 2026.
CO2 sorption in UiO‐67 and its imidazolium‐functionalized derivatives is examined with emphasis on the role of different counterions. Structural characterization and spectroscopic studies provide insight into how functionalization affects pore environments and CO2 interactions.
