Researchers describe, for the first time, the structure of a smell-receptor protein common among insects. Its inner architecture illuminates how insects evolved to detect an amazing diversity of odors ...

Researchers have discovered a rule to predict an arthropod community structure based on the genomic variation in a foundation tree species. Generally, spatial and temporal factors affect how ...

A little leg may reveal something big about how closely related insect species can drastically differ in body shape, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Tokyo. The team ...

Genetic diversity and population structure underpin the capacity of insect species to adapt to environmental change, resist emerging diseases and pests, and maintain ecological functions. Genetic ...

MR. CARPENTER, Assistant Naturalist in the Science and Art Museum in Dublin, is favourably known to entomologists by numerous valuable papers on Lepidoptera, Odonata, cave-insects, economic entomology ...

Most of the volume of epithelial cell bodies containing nuclei are aligned as a monolayer on the apical (upper) side. They extend pillarlike cell processes in a basal (downward) direction. At the ...
