Revision of the Non-Combed Eyed Siphonaptera [PDF]
Parasitology, 1908 The importance of certain species of fleas in relation to the epidemiology of plague has been so amply demonstrated (seeJournal of Hygiene, vols. vi. 1906, p. 426 and vii. 1907, p. 395) that an explanation appears scareely necessary for our publishing a paper dealing with a revision of the non-pectinated eyed Siphonaptera.

Journal 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

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract A characteristic feature of Earth's drylands is the patchy nature of the vegetation, often referred to as a two‐phase mosaic landscape, comprised of a homogenous matrix containing distinctive vegetated patches. The latter are considered vital for ecosystem functioning as they provide refuge to biota from unsuitable conditions.

Comparison of water and terrestrial jumping in natural and robotic insects
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1537, Issue 1, Page 13-31, July 2024.Jumping of small creatures demands high power to surpass size‐related speed limits. They employ various mechanisms to amplify power release. Furthermore, semi‐aquatic jumpers use specialized techniques to maximize the momentum transfer from the water.
