A survey of basal insects (Microcoryphia and Zygentoma) from subterranean environments of Iran, with description of three new species [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2018
A survey of wingless insects belonging to the orders Microcoryphia (=Archaeognatha) and Zygentoma (=Thysanura s. str.) has been performed in subterranean habitats of central Iran. As a result, several new species have been discovered. In this work, three

Sex‐Specific doublesex Regulation Targeting the Color‐Patterning Gene h Underlies the Evolution of Wing Sexual Dimorphism in the Harlequin Ladybug Harmonia axyridis

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
doublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.

Extensive Field Observations Throw Light on the Evolution of Mimicry in Camponotus lateralis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Camponotus lateralis (C, D) mimics regional color morphs of Crematogaster (A, B). Field trips brought insights into ecology, trail sharing, sexual reproduction, colony foundation, nest defense, and predation pressure of this mimetic ant. We found that the mimicry is Batesian and suggest several preadaptations for its evolution.

Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.

Ovipositor Internal Microsculpture in the Relic Silverfish Tricholepidion gertschi (Insecta: Zygentoma)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2011
The microsculpture on the inside surface of the ovipositor of the relic silverfish Tricholepidion gertschi (Wygodzinsky, 1961) (Insecta: Zygentoma) was studied with scanning electronic microscopy for the first time.
