Differential Spectral Adaptation in Praying Mantises
Abstract Praying mantises often display elaborate camouflage, disappearing into the shapes, textures, and colors around them. But they have largely been thought to be monochromats, unable to perceive the colors they mimic.

Mitochondrial genomes of praying mantises (Dictyoptera, Mantodea): rearrangement, duplication, and reassignment of tRNA genes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractInsect mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) contain a conserved set of 37 genes for an extensive diversity of lineages. Previously reported dictyopteran mitogenomes share this conserved mitochondrial gene arrangement, although surprisingly little is known about the mitogenome of Mantodea.

Antennal development in the praying mantis (Tenodera aridifolia) highlights multitudinous processes in hemimetabolous insect species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Insects possess antennae equipped with a large number of segments (flagellomeres) on which sensory organs (sensilla) are located. Hemimetabolous insects grow by molting until they reach adulthood.

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

The functional significance of mantis peering behaviour
European Journal of Entomology, 2012 The aim of this review is to explain the functional significance of mantis peering behaviour from an entomological perspective. First the morphological and optical features of the mantis compound eye that are important for spatial vision are described ...

ChemPhysChem, 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
European 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.

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, Volume 652, Issue 12, 3 August 2026.Ionothermal synthesis in Lewis‐acidic ionic liquids (ILs) yields two new low‐dimensional pnictogen–selenide networks cocrystallized with Cu[AlCl4]. Both are narrow‐gap semiconductors that exhibit strong absorption throughout the visible range. Topochemical AlCl3 extraction triggers partial delamination, pointing to a viable route toward 2D derivatives.

Polymorph‐Specific Electronic Transduction in WO3 during Molecular Sensing
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.Metal‐oxide polymorphs with similar surface chemistry can nevertheless exhibit distinct sensing properties. In γ‐ and ε‐WO3, analyte adsorption appears comparable; yet, only ε‐WO3 induces a pronounced lattice electronic perturbation that accommodates charge in sub‐conduction band minimum states.
