Non-Invaginated Wing Primordia in Holometabolous Insects: First Report From Mecoptera. [PDF]
Evol DevWe investigated wing primordium development in the scorpionfly Mavropanorpa japonica and present the first detailed histological description of a late‐forming, non‐invaginated wing primordium lacking a morphologically distinct peripodial epithelium in Mecoptera.

Evolutionary implications of a deep-time perspective on insect pollination. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples? [PDF]
Ecol EvolMalaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

Morphological variation of the Scorpionfly Panorpa obtusa Cheng (Mecoptera: Panorpidae) with a new synonym. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The overabundance of synonyms is an unavoidable by-product of taxonomic practice in insects. How to reduce or even eliminate synonymy has long been a great challenge for insect taxonomists.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 21, Page 5785-5797, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Using recently published chromosome‐length genome assemblies of two damselfly species, Ischnura elegans and Platycnemis pennipes, and two dragonfly species, Pantala flavescens and Tanypteryx hageni, we demonstrate that the autosomes of Odonata have undergone few fission, fusion, or inversion events, despite 250 million years of separation.

Functional morphology and sexual dimorphism of mouthparts of the short-faced scorpionfly Panorpodes kuandianensis (Mecoptera: Panorpodidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mouthparts are closely associated with the feeding behavior and feeding habits of insects. The features of mouthparts frequently provide important traits for evolutionary biologists and systematists.
