Have female twisted-wing parasites (Insecta: Strepsiptera) evolved tolerance traits as response to traumatic penetration?
Traumatic insemination describes an unusual form of mating during which a male
penetrates the body wall of its female partner to inject sperm. Females unable to prevent …

Patterns of morphological simplification and innovation in the megadiverse Holometabola (Insecta)
We analyzed patterns of complexity and simplicity in holometabolan insects using
parsimony and maximum‐likelihood. By contrast with other groups of arthropods (and most …
