Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing
nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground …

In this chapter, we review and update current knowledge about the evolution, systematics,
and biogeography of the Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)—true bugs that feed …

Mate-guarding can be affected by predation. While filming mate-guarding and prolonged
copulations in a South African swamp forest aposematic millipede observations were made …

Differential ejaculate usage was tested in the diplopod Centrobolus inscriptus. Copulation
duration, postmating interval, and ejaculate volume (disintegrations per minute of H3+) were …

Diagnose. Insetos hemimetábolos, terrestres, aquáticos ou semiaquáticos. Variam de 0, 5 a
130 mm de comprimento. A coloração geralmente é uniforme, inconspícua, porém há …

Millipedes are some of the earliest examples of terrestrial animals, and fossils from the early
Carboniferous Period indicate they were also some of the earliest prey. These fossils record …

Abstract Assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae Latreille) comprise not only one of the
largest radiations of predatory animals (22 subfamilies;> 6,800 spp.) but also include the …

Over the past 2 decades, digital photography has grown increasingly accessible. This has
ushered in a golden age of community science, where nonspecialists share natural history …

The piercing-sucking mouthparts of the true bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) have
allowed diversification from a plant-feeding ancestor into a wide range of trophic strategies …

Genetic basis underlying the biodiversity and phenotypic plasticity are fascinating questions
in evolutionary biology. Such molecular diversity can be achieved at multi-omics levels …
