Male genitalia, hierarchical homology, and the anatomy of the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata; Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.
We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male

High levels of species' extirpation in an urban environment—A case study from Berlin, Germany, covering 1700–2023

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Our study compiled and analysed spatio‐temporal species' extirpation on a broad taxonomic coverage at the city scale. We revealed high number of extirpations, which are in the twenty‐firstcentury already comparable with previous centuries, and showed that cities might be suitable systems for studying species' extirpation processes due to their small ...

Fire and windthrow in forests: Winners and losers in Neuropterida and Mecoptera [PDF]

open access: yesAlpine Entomology, 2019
The mid-term impact of forest fires and windthrows on species compositions in the insect orders Neuroptera, Raphidioptera and Mecoptera was assessed in Swiss forests using standardized flight interception traps.

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Comparative morphology of male genitalia in antlions (Insecta, Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae), with emphasis on owlflies (Ascalaphinae) and a possible structural evolutionary scenario

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 5, May 2024.
Male genitalia groundplan in Neuropterida is based on 10 abdominal segments, plus vestigial structures from an 11th segment. Genitalia are composed of medially fused appendages of the 10th segment (gonarcus), with gonocoxite and gonostylus components (primary gonopods), plus gonostyli of the 9th segment (seconday gonopods).

The genome sequence of a snakefly, Xanthostigma xanthostigma (Schummel, 1832) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual male snakefly, Xanthostigma xanthostigma (Arthropoda; Insecta; Raphidioptera; Raphidiidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 623.30 megabases.
