ISOFLURANE ANESTHESIA IN BUDWING PRAYING MANTISES (PARASPHENDALE AGRIONINA)
Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2021Praying mantises have gained increasing popularity as pets and may be anesthetized to allow morphological identification and clinical procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects and anesthetic-related complications of isoflurane in oxygen in 15 client-owned budwing mantises (Parasphendale agrionina) undergoing photographic ...

Cladistics, 2009
AbstractA comprehensive taxonomic sampling of Mantodea (praying mantises), covering virtually all higher‐level groups, was assembled to reconstruct the phylogeny of the order. Sequence data were generated from five mitochondrial and four nuclear loci (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, Histone III, Cytochrome Oxidase I & II, NADH dehydrogenase

A review of the research on Canary Islands praying mantises (Mantodea)
Zootaxa, 2014For many years researchers studying the fauna of the Canary Islands have only sparsely treated the charismatic insect order of praying mantises (Mantodea). By studying the known literature it becomes obvious that there are several inconsistencies regarding mantodean taxonomy as well as the number of actual species and their distribution within the ...

Neuroethology of audition and bat evasion in praying mantises
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002Many praying mantises have a unique auditory system comprising a single ear located in the ventral midline of the thorax. The hearing is nondirectional, and best frequencies range from 25 kHz to over 100 kHz depending on the species. Bat-like ultrasound triggers complex evasive maneuvers in flying mantises that requires CNS processing in the head.

A survey of the praying mantises of Rwanda, including new records (Insecta, Mantodea)
Zootaxa, 2015We report the results of two surveys targeting praying mantises in four localities in Rwanda, specifically Akagera National Park, Nyungwe National Park, Volcanoes National Park, and the Arboretum de Ruhande at the National University of Rwanda. Using an assortment of collecting techniques, including metal halide light traps, sweep netting vegetation ...
