Sexually but not parthenogenetically produced females benefit from mating in a stick insect
Functional Ecology, 2022 1. In facultatively parthenogenetic populations, the prevalence of sexual repro - duction depends on whether females mate and therefore produce sons and daughters or avoid mating and produce daughters only. 2.

Neuronal Innervation of the Subgenual Organ Complex and the Tibial Campaniform Sensilla in the Stick Insect Midleg. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Mechanosensory organs in legs play are crucial receptors in the feedback control of walking and in the detection of substrate-borne vibrations. Stick insects serve as a model for the physiological role of chordotonal organs and campaniform sensilla. This

Loss and gain of sexual reproduction in the same stick insect. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2019 The outcome of competition between different reproductive strategies within a single species can be used to infer selective advantage of the winning strategy. Where multiple populations have independently lost or gained sexual reproduction it is possible
