The response of neotropical dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata) to local and regional abiotic factors in small streams of the Amazon [PDF]
, 2019 Since the relative role of local and regional abiotic factors on the Odonata diversity in rainforest streams is still poorly understood, we evaluated the effects of these factors on adult Odonata (Insecta) from preserved and altered streams in the ...

Nature, 1938 JUDGING by a recent correspondence in NATURE1, a number of readers are interested in rearing the common stick insect (Carausus). In any quantitative work on Carausus, it is a tedious operation to secure the eggs which are deposited among the debris of the breeding cage where, on account of their 'protective' devices, they may easily escape observation.

Prediction and expression analysis of G protein-coupled receptors in the laboratory stick insect, Carausius morosus. [PDF]
Turk J Biol, 2019 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are 7-transmembrane proteins that transduce various extracellular signals into intracellular pathways. They are the major target of neuropeptides, which regulate the development, feeding behavior, mating behavior ...

Leg Coordination during Walking in Insects [PDF]
, 2013 Locomotion depends on constant adaptation to different requirements of the environment. An appropriate temporal and spatial coordination of multiple body parts is necessary to achieve a stable and adapted behavior.

Nature, 1936 SINCE 1910, we have bred a continuous supply of the common stick insect (Carausius). These are lodged in a glass rectangular case 18½ in. × 9 in. × 15½ in. fitted with a movable glass front. Two glass vases holding ivy leaves in water furnish food and moisture for the insects.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The Draft Genome of the Invasive Walking Stick, Medauroidea extradendata, Reveals Extensive Lineage-Specific Gene Family Expansions of Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes in Phasmatodea. [PDF]
, 2018 Plant cell wall components are the most abundant macromolecules on Earth. The study of the breakdown of these molecules is thus a central question in biology.

Evolutionary dynamics of specialization in herbivorous stick insects [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2018 AbstractUnderstanding the evolutionary dynamics underlying herbivorous insect mega-diversity requires investigating the ability of insects to shift and adapt to different host plants. Feeding experiments with nine related stick insect species revealed that insects retain the ability to use ancestral host plants after shifting to novel hosts, with host ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...
