Functions of Egg-Coating Substances Secreted by Female Accessory Glands in Alderflies, Fishflies and Dobsonflies (Megaloptera) [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Eggs of insects are immobile and must endure harsh environmental conditions (e.g., low temperatures in winter and aridity in summer) and avoid attack by egg-eating predators, egg parasites, and microbes. Females of Megaloptera lay their eggs as a single-

Adults of Alderflies, Fishflies, and Dobsonflies (Megaloptera) Expel Meconial Fluid When Disturbed [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Chemical secretions are an effective means by which insects may deter potential enemies, already being studied extensively with regard to their chemicals, synthesis, toxicity, and functions. However, these defensive secretions have been little studied in

The genome sequence of an alderfly, Sialis fuliginosa Pictet, 1836 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open ResearchWe present a genome assembly from an individual female Sialis fuliginosa (alderfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Megaloptera; Sialidae). The genome sequence is 392.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

Bionomics and Ecological Services of Megaloptera Larvae (Dobsonflies, Fishflies, Alderflies) [PDF]
Insects, 2019 Megaloptera belong to a large monophyletic group, the Neuropteroidea, together with Coleoptera, Strepsiptera, Raphidioptera, and Neuroptera. With the latter two, this order constitutes the Neuropterida, a smaller monophyletic subset among which it is the
