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.

Reticulate evolution in stick insects: the case of Clonopsis (Insecta Phasmida). [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2010 Background Phasmids show noteworthy abilities to overcome species-specific reproductive isolation mechanisms, including hybridization, polyploidy, parthenogenesis, hybridogenesis and androgenesis.

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.

A new representative of the “orthopteroid” insect family Cnemidolestidae from the lower Permian of Germany [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 Palatinarkema prokopi gen. et sp. nov., the third German representative of the late Carboniferous–early Permian archaeorthopteran clade Cnemidolestidae is described and figured. It is compared to the other known genera. We discuss putative aspects of the

Three first records of stick insects attacking plants (Inseect: Phasmida) in Tibet
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Except for a few stick insects that are economically valuable, most species be considered to be forest pests, so it is extremely important to obtain plant host-use information of more stick insects.

Convergent consequences of parthenogenesis on stick insect genomes [PDF]
Science Advances, 2022 The shift from sexual reproduction to parthenogenesis has occurred repeatedly in animals, but how the loss of sex affects genome evolution remains poorly understood. We generated reference genomes for five independently evolved parthenogenetic species in the stick insect genus Timema and their closest sexual ...
