Evolution of Oviposition Techniques in Stick and Leaf Insects (Phasmatodea)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) are large, tropical, predominantly nocturnal herbivores, which exhibit extreme masquerade crypsis, whereby they morphologically and behaviorally resemble twigs, bark, lichen, moss, and leaves.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The corpora cardiaca of the Indian stick insect, Carausius morosus, synthesize two decapeptide neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family, both of which can increase the trehalose levels in the hemolymph when the stick insect is ligated ...

Voltage‐gated proton channels in polyneopteran insects
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Voltage‐gated proton channels (HV1) are expressed in eukaryotes, including basal hexapods and polyneopteran insects. However, currently, there is little known about HV1 channels in insects.

Asexuality: The Insects that Stick With It [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 One hope of trying to understand why sex is so powerful and prevalent a mode of reproduction relies on the rare examples of animals that persist long-term without having sex. Now, several species of stick insects join that illustrious circle.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.

Multimodal Structural Color Graphics Based on Colloidal Photonic Microdome Arrays
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A hybrid photonic system combining colloidal crystals and microscale domes is designed to achieve four switchable optical states via the interplay of Bragg reflection and TIR interference. The graphics composed of the photonic microdome arrays provide tunable, angle‐sensitive structural coloration and concealed‐to‐revealed transitions, offering a ...

Feeding Habits of Stick Insects [PDF]
Nature, 1936 THE observations1 from the Notre Dame Training College, Glasgow, on the eating of dead cellulose by Carausius, are very interesting in view of our experience at Strand School, where we have kept stick insects for upwards of twenty-five years, incidentally, without having detected a male.

A New Chinese Mesozoic Stick Insect [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2011 Renphasma sinica gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation in Liaoning. It has the general habitus of the Mesozoic “stick-insects”, with a short thorax, and broad and long tegmina, as long as the hindwings. Its pattern of tegmina venation is typical of the Mesozoic Phasmatodea, also present in the Eocene stick insect ...
