Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2298-2314, September 2026.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Old dog, new trick: Charybdotoxin as a novel ryanodine receptor blocker
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 17, Page 7246-7263, 1 September 2026.Abstract figure legend The peptide toxin charybdotoxin (ChTx) from the scorpion Leiurus quinquestriatus was tested on single‐channel currents of the ryanodine receptor incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. The structure–function relationship of ChTx was investigated using toxin variants generated by isosteric substitutions of the basic amino acids ...

An Anti-serum for Scorpion Venom [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1909 Many deaths occur every year in Egypt as the result of scorpion sting. These deaths are practically confined to Cairo and Upper Egypt, and are almost entirely among children. Unfortunately, owing to local conditions, it is almost impossible to obtain really accurate figures for this mortality, but some idea may be formed from the statistics given below

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1863-1876, August 2026.ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.
