The dark side of pseudoscorpion diversity: The German Barcode of Life campaign reveals high levels of undocumented diversity in European false scorpions [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 DNA barcoding is particularly useful for identification and species delimitation in taxa with conserved morphology. Pseudoscorpions are arachnids with high prevalence of morphological crypsis.

Insecticidal activity of the linear pseudoscorpion venom peptide Ammogarypin revealed by functional profiling [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologySome pseudoscorpions produce venom to subdue prey and their venom components may be of translational interest in agronomy and beyond. However, only very few pseudoscorpion venom peptides have been functionally characterized as of yet.

Thirty Years of the Biology of Spermatozoa: The Rise and Future of an Evolutionary Paradigm. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA sperm bundle taken from the seminal vescicles of the dung beetle, Onthophagus taurus. Image credit: Leigh W. Simmons. ABSTRACT In the early 1970s, Geoff Parker recognised that because females frequently mate with multiple males, competition for fertilizations will impose significant sexual selection on males and their ejaculates.
