Predator dependent mimetic complexes: Do passerine birds avoid Central European red-and-black Heteroptera?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2010
True bugs are generally considered to be well protected against bird predation. Sympatric species that have similar warning coloration are supposed to form a functional Müllerian mimetic complex avoided by visually oriented avian predators.

The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Thermal acclimatization does not affect the resting activity of type T1 trichobothrium in the fi rebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus; Heteroptera)

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2007
Firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) pass through the winter in adult state. They undergo a series of physiological changes in order to increase their capacity to survive at low ambient temperatures. Nevertheless, even during winter their body temperature can

Sex‐biased gene content is associated with sex chromosome turnover in Danaini butterflies

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 24, December 2024.
Abstract Sex chromosomes play an outsized role in adaptation and speciation, and thus deserve particular attention in evolutionary genomics. In particular, fusions between sex chromosomes and autosomes can produce neo‐sex chromosomes, which offer important insights into the evolutionary dynamics of sex chromosomes. Here, we investigate the evolutionary

Intra‐species quantification reveals differences in activity and sleep levels in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 482-494, December 2024.
Different populations of Aedes aegypti, consisting of lab‐established and recently collected African lines display similar diurnal activity patterns. Despite this consistent diurnal activity, variations in activity and sleep levels are observed among the populations, where differences among lines were more pronounced in the lab‐adapted populations ...

High-altitude migration of Heteroptera in Britain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Heteroptera caught during day and night sampling at a height of 200 m above ground at Cardington, Bedfordshire, UK, during eight summers (1999, 2000, and 2002-2007) were compared to high-altitude catches made over the UK and North Sea from the 1930s to ...
