Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2660-2680, December 2025.ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1922 The potentialities of Siam as a field for discovery have hitherto been almost entirely neglected by collectors of Diptera, and in consequence, apart from an occasional description of a new species, little or nothing has been published upon the Siamese representatives of this Order.

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2111-2127, November 2025.Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

Obituary: Jacob Brodzinsky (January 17,1918 - February 25, 2003) [PDF]
